Weird, maybe there is some bug with it. What iOS version, Kobo app version, and exact device type are you running? Also, could you post a link to where you got that book from, maybe we're not picking it up for that book for some reason.

As for the other awards, just heard back that, at present, they were for 2010 only, so you cannot gain them at present.

guessing its a bug I have iPhone 4 ios version 4.3.5, and i downloaded the app version is 5.0.1


the book I have a read 4 times is this one: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/17135

I know it's short, but my daughter likes it lol
I have finished 3 other books that I got from epub.com, the stats say that I have finished 4 books, so I'm guessing that they qualify???

As for the awards thanks! I hope that there will be holiday ones this year
thanks!

Whew, saved from having to read actual vampire books just so I can methodically (and crazily) collect all awards! lol
Thanks Verano!

I tried it both on my Kobo Vox and my Android smartphone but I couldn't get the award in either device.

Then again it's nothing new since my devices cannot seem to unlock a lot of awards. When I wrote to Kobo about it they gave me some nonsensical advice that doesn't work.

The Sookie Stackhouse awards are currently only available for the iOS app, though they shouldn't be able to be earned with a preview anyways…

Dead Reckoning activates with the preview, but the others don't.

It seems there are quite a few awards only available on the iOS app that you can't get on Kobo Touch, Vox or even android. I was missing some awards and wrote to Kobo and was told that the awards that I was missing weren't available on my device.

Does anyone know whether there are awards specific to Kobo Touch, Vox, android, that you can't get on iOS? I am curious whether Kobo planned to have awards distributed in a device specific way.

A full list of which awards are available on which platforms was posted earlier in this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...4&postcount=92

I believe the only award not available on iOS is a new Vox-specific award tied to fixed layout ePubs, eReading Rainbow.

OMG, you know I looked at that list and totally forgot about it about five seconds after I looked at it. Thanks for pointing it out to me again I will have a closer look at what my award earning potential is.

I think if you delete books and you go below 40 total in your library, it removes some of your progress.

I would also love, love, LOVE to see new awards made (for any/all systems).

thanks but, I haven't removed any books and once you earn the award you shouldn't loose it. It just doesn't make sense to me lol

If the award was earn and was successfully synced to the server then you should not lose it, unless something went awry when it tried to save it up to the server.

Is this Kobo Touch or iOS where you are seeing the problem?
