I don't think people complaining are previous Glo users (at least not mostly), but people used to other readers that do a better job of utilizing their screen real estate to begin with and thinking how nice it would be if the Kobo did too. Coming from a Kindle (primarily), Sony and Bookeen Opus this is the first I've encountered anything like this.

Nor do I recall seeing the widows and orphans issue on any other devices (random pages with an inch and a half of blank space bugs me more than the default amount of space at the bottom).
