Adding things to wishlist?

So I have he Kobo Glo and I want to add things t my wishlist for later. Kobo Glo instructions just say to press the thing that looks like a pushpin but here is no such thing on any book I am browsing on there online store. Any ideas on how to make a wishlist? Also, is there a way to reset your reading stats I put a lot of PDF files on my Device and I would like to start the stats fresh so it reflects what I actually read instead of when I check to see if images or if the file made it onto the device safely.

In the book list and the book's details view in the device's bookstore, the books have a pull-down menu to the right of the price. On that menu is an option to add to wishlist.

If you just want to mark the opened books as unread, you can do that by long-pressing the book in the library listing, there is are otions on the menu that pops up to mark as unread or finished. But if you want to reset the reading stats on number of books read, hours read, etc. then I think you need to sign out and setup the device again from scratch.

In the Settings > Accounts page there is an option to sign out of your Kobo account. If you do this it will result in going through device setup again and you will start with a new database. It is like a factory reset, but no new firmware is downloaded and your sideloaded books are not deleted.

Well I am not able to find this pull down menu. I go to the bookstore and it shows me several books I press on on it. Then it takes me to a page with more details. On this page the only things I can touch are buy and preview book. There is nothing to the right of the price When its showing me all the books available on a page it shows the price but nothing else. And to he right of the price in the books details is the picture of the book. I don't see any pull down menu.

As for marking a book unread I don't see that either. There is an option to mark it finished but not unread. It gives me the options to view details, mark as finished, add to shelf, or delete.

Which firmware version is your Glo on? I have attached screenshots of the list and details view from the bookstore on my Glo with the current 3.1.1 firmware. (Tap the little down arrow to the right of the price for the pull-down menu.)

Edit: The mark as unread option is only in the current 3.1.1 firmware, but for older firmware you can use the KoboUtilities plugin in Calibre to mark books as unread.
