Remaining time to complete book
A feature I like on the Kindle is that it tells you how much reading time you have left on the book you are reading... is there such a feature on Kobo?

Yes. Time left in book, time left in chapter and what's really nice is time to read for the next chapter so you can plan ahead.

Where can I find the option for this on Kobo?

In short: works only with kepub.epub files, can be found in status bar then, calibre kobo extended plugin will convert epub to kepub.epub files.

However, with converted KePubs, you don't get even that information in the book itself. You get some of it on the sleep/power off screen, and you get a little more of it if you look at Reading Stats from the Home Screen, but nothing aside from "X% complete" and "Chapter X - Page Y of Z" in the book itself.

The reading stats from the home screen are only available for your current book. Adding the following to the config file will add a "Reading stats" item to the menu for each book in the library list. This shows the reading stats page for the selected book.

Code:
[FeatureSettings]
BookSpecificStats=true
If there already is a "FeatureSettings", just add the other line after it.
