Why not to integrate local library networks, as for example the italian MLOL ( Media Library On Line ) ?

I noticed that with the latest firmware 4.18.13737, "reading statistics" is not updated while reading, but only when changing the chapter or reopening the book ... It does not update the time remaining in the chapter or in the book.

Home button
I wish they would give us a dedicated Home button in the top bar. There's more than enough room next to the Light button.
In this firmware version, if you have opened a book from "My Books" and you want to close it, you get presented with a button "Go back to My Books," while most of the time I want to go to the Home screen. It takes two extra steps (Menu → Home) to get there. The logic of a Home button is that it should always be available to take you directly back to the start screen.

I would like to change the order of headers and footers: Header (chapter name and progress) down and footer (book name and progress) up.

Anybody else hold their Kobo with your right hand?
I do. Unfortunately, whenever my Kobo awakes (or powers on), the screen display is momentarily upside down (as though you were holding it in your left hand.) It takes 3 seconds before it flips right side up. This happens every time. Wish we could configure our Kobo to start/resume with "right-handed orientation". Or it would start with the correct orientation, but, crazily enough, would flip upside down before switching back right side up!!! Let me know if you also have this issue. |

Integration with Goodreads
I would like to share my reading experience on Kobo e-readers on Goodreads, like I am doing on my Kindle Oasis...
I do know that Goodreads is own by Amazon, but do you think it would be possible in the future ? |

If you are a calibre user, you can use my Kobo Utilities plugin to get the reading status of the books and the Goodreads Sync plugin to update GR. |

My suggestion:
While we are in the ''Activity'' menu and see the statistics for the book we are currently reading, to be able to return directly to the book, by clicking on it. Unfortunately, now the only way to get back to the book is to go to the Main menu (or ''My books'') and select it. |

have different brightness icon when light is completely off
Have different brightness icons when light is completely off and when it's on
Rationale for this suggestion: occasionally, when I'm in a completely dark room, I turn on the brightness from 0% to 1%. The next day, in the daytime, I read on my Kobo Forma forgetting that the brightness is on, and wading battery because I don't need the light at all in the daytime. Maybe when brightness is completely off, the icon could be the same sun, but without the rays. I guess it'll look like just a circle. |

Comfort light auto adjust set to earlier than 9pm bedtime. In my phone & pc, the night mode setting is to specify the wakeup and bedtime (which i usually set at 7am & 7pm).
