Kobo reserve a bit of space to show the show the page number and display the bottom menu. I like this, but I think they could halve the space taken. The other possible problem is widows and orphans. Kobo use a default of either two or three. That can mean extra space because the first the paragraph gets forced to the next screen. A lot of people set these to zero in the CSS of their books to prevent this from happening.

Not sure if it will completely replace the tablet as a reader, although one factor that may determine if it will - can I easily sync everything (including last reading marker) between devices? Preferably wirelessly, but not completely necessary.
Unfortunately not. I haven't seen anything that syncs reading position between dissimilar devices. You can sync between Kobo eReaders and apps for books from their shop. My Kobo Utilities plugin will store and restore reading position for sideloaded epubs. But, this is only for Kobo ereaders.
