Questions

1. Does the KO3 has this tracking/activity option?
2. While converting EPUB to AZW3 do you loose anything in the process?
3. Can you increase/decrease the brightness by swiping up/down on the left side of the screen?
4. When you put the KO3 to sleep, do you get to see the cover of the current book?

Cheers
I don't use AZW3 because of it has no hyphenation. You could use the "hyphenate this" plugin (to create soft hypens) but if there are notes You won't get dashes on pop up notes. I think it is better KFX, You will obtain hyphenation, kerning and ligatures (ligatures are not present with Kepub, the only drawback of Kobo in my opinion). The number of books that can be converted in KFX is now very large.

For the rest of Your questions I agree with @Sirtel

edit: not all languages are supported in KFX, and I have herd that in Russian (may be? I am not sure) AZW3 supports hyphenation.
