The wasted space bothers some people to the point that they won't update, no matter what other fixes might have been in 2.5.2. We don't like it. Some of us actually hate it to the point of switching reader brands if it's still on Kobo firmware.

I find it somewhat risible that 2.5.2 not generating cover images for sideloaded books on an SD card gets virtually no mention. That is, IMNSHO, a fairly major bug. The poor quality covers generated by 2.5.1 were bad enough but not generating them at all?
The title bar? Oh, Ghod, I have to move to the next page ~3 more times per chapter! And as has been pointed out several times, this change does makes the screen look more similar whether reading a kepub or an epub.
Do either of these make me want to give up my Aura? No.
Is the Aura expensive? Looking at my book budget for 2012, I spent over $2200 on books (dead tree and ebooks combined). Without an ereader, the same number of books would have driven my budget to at least $2800 -- I do buy a lot of hard covers. For me, the cost of the ereader is a minor part of my reading budget.
