[QUOTE=Anak;2538136]It's correct. fw 2.6.1 has the same header size as 2.5.2 but without the book title info text.[QUOTE]

For an epub book on an Aura, the 2.61 firmware has less than a 5mm header from the edge of the bezel to the top of the ascender on a character on the first line. 2.5.2 used quite a bit more space than that. I didn't write down the exact measurement but in the neighbourhood of 10mm going by my memory. 2.5.1 had about a 3mm header.

The easy way to tell that 2.6.1 has a much narrow top margin than 2.5.2 is to tap the middle of the screen -- on 2.5.2 no text was covered, on the font size I use most of the time, I lose most of the 2 lines of text at the top of the screen when they disappear behind the popup. I said most since the descenders on the second line stick down into view.

Regards,
David
