Hi,
As a father
- I have activated the parental control on my 9 year old son's kobo aura who had a tendency to tamper with the device and sheepishly return a reset e-reader to me
- I added a few dictionaries to give more choice.
- I agreed with my young reader to "add the word "* he was looking for so that we could talk about it later.
Alas, the menu offered is succinct : 'settings' and 'help', that's all.
The 'activity' section is no longer available, which makes it impossible to find the list of "my words".
Of course there is the possibility of "highlighting words" but I find this less practical.

I'm not sure if Kobo is taking this type of user feedback into account and perhaps implementing a fix at a later date. What do you think?
* I activated this option before activating the parental control option.
