It's the initial sitting. They want some attention. One of my cats well push at my laptop when she decides my lap should be occupied by her.

but I do things like highlighting quite a lot, also searches in book for names etc. The Kobo is always fully on and I'm actively using it, regularly turning pages as I read. I know how long my reading sessions are by the time showing on the 'ambient' video (birdsong, rain, etc) playing in the background.

However, when considering the next book, lots of flipping about between collections, reading the details or first paragraphs to see what takes my fancy, is done. This might affect the timing?
What you do outside the book should have no impact on the reading time or sessions. But, as soon as you open it, you have a session. And using the ToC to navigate, appears to start a new session. I don't know exactly what else does. Turning the page doesn't. I don't think turning the page to a new chapter does. But, any of the functions that jump to another section of the book might start a session. And returning to where you were might be another. Without some information for Kobo or doing some experiments, I can't say more than that.
