I have the Mini, and screen space is REALLY at a premium, so I thought that putting the book title across the top would make a huge difference. To me it does not. To others it will, and it would be nice to have this as an option. But I still wish it wasn't there! I try and cram as many words on the page as I can comfortably read - being a reasonably fast reader - so run with smallest readable font for me, close line spacing, no borders etc. Not disagreeing with any other's person's views.
One bug that I have had for a while, and which I haven't seen mentioned, (sorry if I am wrong) was the 'disappearing books' every time I turned the Kobo off. The books were there but not showing. Out of 100+ books I was always left with some 15 or so. Not sure whether all these were from the Kobo library, but very likely. Therefore I always just put the Mini to sleep, and not turned OFF. If I connected to a charger -not necessarily a computer - for just a couple of seconds, then, magically all my books showed up. Weird! Now with the latest update, this bug seems to have disappeared. Hopefully for good.
I do feel sorry for those good folk who bought a Kobo, expecting it to be a stress free way of reading, and have absolutely no idea what is happenening when bugs appear. I've had to sort out a few issues on my wife's Mini, (she not being at all savvy), although my Mini seems to have suffered more. As an example of this she has not suffered with the 'disappearing books' bug...
