Why do you try to downplay the issue ?
Just cause the bottom space has been an issue from day one does not make it less of an issue. The thing with the new issue of the top wasted space has brought the issue of the bottom space back into light, that's all.
My point is if by some miracle they fixed that top space issue by giving us the CHOICE of what we want (including even more blank spaces if that's what makes you happy, but as an option), that they might as well then deal with the bottom one, by allowing a full screen mode.
Why is that so hard to understand ? why is CHOICE such a problem for some ?

What are you trying to say ? AGAIN that CHOICE should not be given, cause not enough people wanting it, not a real issue, bottom space never an issue to begin with etc ...
Forgive me if I'm mistaken but it really feels like a full screen AGAIN AS AN OPTIONAL CHOICE is a big problem for you.
And what does owning or not owning a Kobo reader have to do with anything. I do own one but even without one I still can see in reviews and other videos and photos that I don't like the wasted top/bottom space.

And I am really happy you do, I would never dream of downplaying what you consider a plus for you and if Kobo ever removed it though I would say that full screen works for me, I would still disagree with them removing options that work for you.

In other words our issues are not worthy of the dev's time and work so yeah if they have some spare time and take pity on our irrelevant issues about a full screen option and if it does not get in the way of REAL issues then sure, why not.
Well thank you for that condescending note and blessing on our plight.
