- 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 ? |
It's correct. fw 2.6.1 has the same header size as 2.5.2 but without the book title info text.
This is not a real improvement but I appreciate the effort by Kobo to revert it. I consider this a good first step, and hopefully with the next firmware release Kobo will restore the original margins of fw 2.5.1. Or even reduce the ua margins on all page sides as most epubs do contain page margins.
I don't mind if Kobo rewites, optimizes, improves its firmware features as long as they don't change too much to the reader function of the devices.
If you don't want the top header you should use fw 2.5.1 (for now). Or use fw 2.5.2 with this
patch.
