There is no need whatsoever to continually see the title of the book.

The Kobo readers have a lot of great and very advanced features with regard to readability (such as many fonts, sizes, and even weight and sharpness adjustment), but they leave out some elementary stuff like setting the line spacing to 1.0 and removing unwanted stuff from the screen.
I could not agree more. These are the two reasons why I do not use kepubs: you cannot get rid of the top menu, and you cannot adjust the line-height below 1.3em. And I wish they would make the bottom menu smaller, or hide it during normal reading.
