Unusable since last update. All annotations and bookmarks gone. Covers and titles from imported books are also gone. Customer support said to reinstall app so now all my books are gone from the app and I can only import one book back at a time. It did not even help the cover and title issues. Never had any issues before the recent update.

Highlighting parts of the text works poorly. Often text selection fails or the highlight is not saved. Flipping pages is also a poor experience as I often get the same page after going to the next page. Sometimes it even skips a page! Maybe these issues are related to the book I'm reading now but one would expect the quality of each Kobo book, bought in the store, behaves the same.

Let's be clear, I like reading with this app. However, it is fairly buggy. It doesn't seem to remember your custom settings, so sometimes you'll open it to a very bright screen. That also happens when the screen times out and you turn it back on. I don't like apps that override system brightness settings anyway. It switched to light mode when I put the system on dark mode, very odd. The widget often opens to a blank page, which is fairly useless. Once I'm reading, it's pretty good though.
