That the Aura is only a month old doesn't explain why the Glo and Touch have a title bar at the top. The firmware wasn't just for the Aura.
I never noticed much in the way of protesting of the bottom margin until the 2.5.x series of releases. The protests I did see were more about the way orphans and widows were handled so that there were varying amounts of space on the bottom due to that issue. I have not seen that particular issue raised with the 2.5.2 version, so maybe it is fixed. I read kepub.epub, and it seems fine in that format.

I do think the top menu is a bigger problem on the smaller screen devices like the Glo and Touch.
