Lost my Kobo

[xwolfi]

Hey !

I've recently lost my Kobo but I have no idea where and when (I'm a genius, I know). The thing is I'd like to know if someone picked it up. No new orders have been recorded (the credit card is expired now anyway), and I have no hope whatsoever to get it back, since my email is registered inside and received no message, so either it's lost in the abyss of god knows where, or someone found it and had every intention to keep it, which I won't blame, but still I'd like to know.

Is there a way to access the social thingy remotely to see if people have read books recently on my device ? Is there a unique identifier on the device I should keep next time (I'll buy an Aura H2O tomorrow I have a good excuse for it now) that I could give kobo support to get a localtion next time or such things ?

Thanks for any input

Give us a better location for this Kobo hunt? You did best you can having contact info written on back cover. i lost a pay check in San Diego. Highway worker found it and I had it back in a few days. Lost cell phone and recieved call to come get it. Had 2 cameras returned. You can also be lucky.

IF the wifi is on and somebody reads on it, it should presumably change the position of the bookmarks on whatever you were reading. So if you open your library from the Kobo app and any one book, it should take you at the most recent bookmark location, i.e. the one of the "clandestine reader" (if there is such a person). If you are already reading on both the ereader and the kobo app (e.g. on your phone), then when you open the last book you were reading you should get a message of the kind "it seems you were reading on another device, do you want me to sync the position?", or similar.

Of course, though, you need the wifi to be switch on on your device, and to be in range of some network that it would connect to.

Good luck!
