Not often. I plugged into USB to charge after a week or so reading, and took advantage of the connection to add three books via Calibre. When I then opened the book I was reading and checked the last three swipe-down, it showed the 3 books I had just added and forgot the ones I had been reading. So it didn't work for me this time. |

I didn't think I'd end up using the new swipe down feature when I read about it, but I found out something that makes it incredibly useful: it remembers Pocket articles, too!
So this is now great for me, because Kobo has never had a filter to show articles I'm currently reading, even if it remembers the spot I left it with if I pull it up again. This will let me jump between the books and articles I'm reading without having to dig back into the Pocket menu and find the article again. |

Having the newly side-loaded books as the most recent helps me to find them so I can shelve them in the proper collections. |

If your library offers the option to download books for offline reading via Adobe Digital Editions, you can use that to load the books onto your Kobo.

I'm ok with newly sideloaded books showing up as recently loaded, because they're new on the device. But there should be some way to have the actively reading books be on an independent list from the newly loaded books. |

The swipe-down feature simply shows the top three in the My Books tab, which if you've recently been adding books, will be the most recently added. Just as reading a book puts it to the top of My Books, so reading will put it to the top of the swipe list until you add more books |

So, you think the new swipe down list should be filtered by "Reading" status. I would agree that would match what is advertised :0
