Italics have been removed from some fonts and replaced with bold (including Gill sans and Kobo Nickel, two of my favourite).

It's a shame that the progress bar is only available for kepubs. Kobo has been introducing a lot of the new features (and the return of some old ones) on exclusively on kepubs at first, then bringing them to epubs much later. Is the coding for the two formats really that different or are they just trying to promote books from their store? I am merely curious, not making a wild accusation.

Also, what is this about checking reading stats while reading?
