That said, I have two issues that are already making me think the hell with it. First, I wish Kobo were more transparent about what exactly counts. I assume it's purchased content direct-downloaded only, and that's fine. But what about books that are mostly or entirely read offline? Will Kobo count them when you sync? What about devices that don't sync entirely, which is a problem for a lot of people? Also, I prefer to read offline because of battery issues.
I contacted support asking a similar question. Only Kobo store purchases count, not sideloaded books. They did not answer my question as to whether there is any minimum word count…
