Firmware feature that starts up in book?

I've had my Glo for quite some years now, since around early 2013, if I recall. But the lack of one feature that has always bugged me is that the device doesn't simply return to the page where you left off, in the book where you left off when you last shut the device down... Yes, I shut it down to save power and having to cycle the battery more often.

This seems a rather obvious feature, or at least like it'd make a lovely option on startup. In fact, I think it may have been one of the first suggestions in the firmware thread in ancient days of yore.

Kobo, can we get some love here and make the device operate a little more logically, or at least a bit more like a book does, or at least one where I remember the page I left off? I'm sure some ding-dong in Marketing had an objection, but I don't care how many times I see the homepage, I'm much more likely to be picking the darned thing up to continue reading than to run off and search for another book. It wastes enough of my time when I have to "select" the darned book multiple times to get the ball rolling on startup -doesn't always seem to get it on the first attempt.

Please don't comment that if we start up in the book someone may not to get back to the homepage. If they get into a book, chances are they'll figure it out, or they'd just get stuck as soon as they opened a book from the menu anyway.

Mild Rant Concluded...
