I take it that the developers of this program do not consult this forum, as why else would the take such a hateful feature as reading statistics and force it upon readers. I would dearly love to go back to a previous version as this new upgrade has lessened my reading enjoyment considerably. Any way to do so or perhaps a different system?

4.26.16704 is not buggy. If it was, there would already be multiple posts about it given how long 4.26.16704 has been out.
Yes you can go back. But how you do it depends on how far back you want to go. So what version firmware do you want to go back to? You can either install an older firmware over the existing firmware or you have to do a full reset and start over and then install the firmware you want as well as all eBooks. If you do go back, you cannot sync or you'll update the firmware. So no downloading eBooks directly from Kobo or using Overdrive.
What's the issue with the reading statistics? I don't use them and I don't find them obtrusive. If by page progress you mean page number, you can display page numbers in the header and the footer. You just have to go to the reading settings to configure them.
So what exactly don't you like with the current firmware? Please be specific instead of general.
