What issues? The first post was about a change in behaviour someone just noticed and was wondering when that actually happened. And the second was wondering if this change would cover borrowing as well as returning. I don't expect this will be the case, but, I rarely use the library and have only one library so cannot test.

I would not worry about it too much as the library may then complain to Kobo and this may make them change their habits?

Again, I do not understand this statement. The OP is talking about making it
easier to return books. That works in the libraries favour as the book becomes available for someone to borrow. Why would the library complain?

I do understand why you care about this as a library is a big part of a community.
The main issue is Kobo is a business, and probably another company over another company over the Kobo business and it wants to make money. If you borrow a book then return it, it then becomes a preview book on your Kobo ereader (with a price tag to tempt you to buy it?). I cannot look for free books on my ereader. If I filter price from low to high, I get some free, 89 cent, and also $125 books mixed in on the first search page.
Kobo just wants you to spend money like any other company. Which is why the apps might be a little bit, dare i say buggy….........

Now that is funny. The way for a company to make money is to write buggy software. But, have you reported the above bug? Maybe Kobo haven't realised it is a problem. With my quick test, it seemed to work, but, started to go wrong at about page 8. Honestly, I would rarely page that far through search results as if I hadn't found what I wanted in the first few pages, I would change the search terms. And I don't browse the store on the device. The few books I buy on the device are because I am after something specific, such as the next in a series. And most of the times, the book is in my wishlist.
