I suspect the page sizing algorithm is erring on the side of leaving to much space rather than losing the tails of some letter. But, I know what you mean. I've spent far to much time tweaking dialogs to be just right. The worst is when you look over a colleagues should who is OK with it being almost in line. I had a well practised speech about professional looks for this.

I agree the menus could be tighter. But white space is important to design too. Still, tighter does not have to be squashed.

Definitely important. I did raise it with Kobo and they said they would think about it. I don't expect a change unless they decide to redo the icons used in the interface.

As for the dictionary & annotation functions I'm pretty sure I've never opened either, except by accident. I don't have an eidetic memory, but I do pretty well most days when I manage to get five or six hours of sleep.

I don't use the dictionary much, but I make a lot of annotations. Mainly to mark errors in books so I can fix them. All those older books that have been scanned and not proofread.
