There's a Checksum column value in the Achievement table, so unfortunately it's not as simple as just changing values. A few years ago someone was trying to reverse-engineeer the Reading Stats Checksum, but I'm not sure if they (I think it was geek1011) were successful.

Did anyone ever figure how it was calculated?

I tried this just now and saw no effect. I do have a Facebook account and linked it to Kobo years ago, but the Facebook activity award isn't visible anymore. It's possible this hack worked in the past when there were vestigial server APIs, but Facebook hasn't supported third party links like this for years.

The awards are hopelessly broken at this point. Even when I reset, it shows a completed "Scout Leader", which means I completed 10 awards even though only five are currently completed. As a gamer, I miss them working. I liked pursuing them.

Recently, Amazon offered something similar called Kindle Challenges. Aside from badges, participants could earn a $5 credit. I didn't learn about it until afterwards, but still managed to complete some challenges accidentally. No $5 for me, though. LOL https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/20...regular-thing/
