How does Kobo generate the metrics you receive in the Your Kobo Reading Life email? Let's take a look at each metric...

Each metric is generated whenever you read a downloaded Kobo eBook preview, a free Kobo eBook or a purchased Kobo eBook on any Kobo eReader, Kobo mobile or desktop app. This Reading Activity email outlines your personal reading activity from October through December, 2015.

We have also included eBook recommendations based on your reading preference and average hours read of others within the same genre(s).
