To keep the record straight (and it would be nice if everyone was doing the same and not "seasoning" the facts to each own's taste):
  • In 2.5.1, the title was shown at the top of each page with kepubs. With epubs it was not and the space used for actual text was optimal.
  • In 2.5.2, the title was always shown at the top of the page, and empty lines separated it from the actual text, thus some of us complaining about loss of space.
  • In 2.6.1, from what I understand (I have not received it yet), the title is not shown anymore in epubs (what's the story on kepubs?), but the actual text is not back as high on the page as it was on 2.5.1, although Kobo made the effort of reducing the loss of space in the top margin.

Can anyone with an objective mind confirm or correct this please ?
