KOBO's priority in future firmware updates must certainly be remedying the extra wide and non-optional headers and footers issue. Part of that remedy should involve giving us more useful headers and footers, as well. In the course of reading an entire book, the top header line remains unchanged displaying the book's title while the footer is more dynamic as it aggregates the chapter and page number (relative to the chapter) information. A paper book's traditional style is to alternate between the book's title and the chapter title (or number) in the header space. I would wish future KOBO updates to incorporate this style. To complement alternating header information, the footer should also alternate between "Page X of Y" relative to the entire book when the header is displaying the book's title and "Page X of Y" relative to the current chapter when the header is displaying the chapter title. Someone at KOBO, please get the ball rolling on this!
Some of this is different between kepubs and epubs. epubs display the page numbering for the full book, kepubs relative to the current chapter. The title is a bit different. kepubs have always had it, and it was added for epubs in the latest firmware. Hopefully they will sort this out in the next firmware.

Okay, one more firmware request. I would like a saved log of the words looked up in the dictionary. My old Sony Daily Edition had this feature and I credit it tremendously with helping me retain the more quixotic terms used in the course of my readings.
The list is kept. In the past, it has been displayed when you look up a word using the entry screen. But, I just tried that and they weren't shown. I'll have to do a little digging.
