I do find it rather strange that you started reading the book but were unable to decide if you might want to read the next in the series before heading off to bed. Just how long do you read in bed on the average? 3 hours? 4 hours? Until your alarm clock goes off? The old saw about failure to plan is planning to fail comes to mind.
So a total creature of impulse? And as mentioned, a simple checkbox would save you from your complaint about the unsupported firmware version message. And I suspect that I have a better idea than you about Kobo's firmware releases going back over a decade and I don't find it all that bothersome.

I've had Kobos since the original non-WiFi Bluetooth only it can sync to a Blackberry wirelessly model launched. Maybe you know more, frankly I don't really care if you do. Sounds like you have a system that works for you and you seem heavily attached to Kobo and Calibre and plan out your reading to a T. That's great for you.
I've had broken/corrupted Kobo databases in the past too, I also didn't want to risk getting it broken and having to fix that in the middle of the night lest some 3rd party program muck things up. Last thing I'd want to be doing.
I've had books I've enjoyed half way through and found the end lackluster. Sometimes I'm satisfied with how a book ends and don't want to read the next one in a series. And yeah, sometimes I'll read 10 minutes at night or 3 hours. Depends on lots of things.
Anyways I'm done explaining my preferences.
