Any way to prevent accidental opening of read books?
The little "..." used to open book menu is very small and I accidentally opening books when trying to check the book details or add/remove book to collection. Is there anything that can help with this?

This is in "My Books"?

Try tap and hold on the book and use the context menu?

Using a stylus instead of a finger helps, but it still happens occasionally.

Try tap and hold on the "..."? If you don't hold long enough, hopefully you were on the "...". Not full proof, but may reduce the problem.

I know this is obvious, but it has to be said. Don't tap the book title or icon.

To make it clear: I have hand tremours. If I try to tap the "..." sometimes I miss. If I try to hold, sometimes it's accidentally a tap.

I was hoping maybe for a patch that would change the tap behaviour so that it opened the menu or the book details.

Kobo could make the target area much bigger. It's not as if there's something near it. I have big hands and have to be very careful when tapping the ... or I'll open the book.

I don't have big hands and it's easy to open the book rather than hit the ...
