Is this indeed the case, or can the title display be disbaled? Having the title there would be utterly useless. If it can't be disabled it'll waste some more space, in addition of the bottom part that always displays the pagenumber (at least somewhat useful). If need to use epubs to remedy this, which leaves Time To Read and the Chapter Graph unavailable, then I'm going to stop considering the Aura HD as a replacement for my Paperwhite.

That is the case. What is happening is that two different reader applications are used for the two types of books. epubs are read based on Adobe Reader (or ADE or their toolkit or whatever). kepubs use something else. I think it is called ACCESS. These each have different bugs and different display properties. And, as you have found out, the kepub reader always displays the book title at the top of the screen. But it does have a better reading status display.

What's up with this problem? Does the Aura create a new page to begin the paragraph, and then when you flip to it, it discovers that the paragraph still doesn't fit, after which it will create another new page.... and so on? (I'm just guessing here of course.)

When reading an epub, if a paragraph goes longer than about a screen in the current font and other settings, it starts on a new screen. But, it gets it right from there on. It is a problem that has been in the firmware for a long time. I rarely see the problem as most books I have read don't have paragraphs that long. But, I have just finished one that had a lot. I think you see it a more if you read a lot of classics.
The kepub reader doesn't have this bug.
