Personally, I am happy with the page number as the footer, but dislike the title. But, I think they could shrink the footer a bit.
My issue with Kobo is that their software is not the best and does not appear to be generally customised. For whatever reason, designers of e-reader UIs do a less than perfect job. Make it user-customisable so that the community can perfect it.

What the manufacturer leaves imperfect, the community makes perfect thorough their art. Or not, as is sadly the case with increasingly restricted e-reader UI's and Os's.

Still, I'm in the minority and I can see why the manufacturers don't give a crap about my wants. I am still waiting for a decent, rootable, Android, front-lit e-reader.
