I agree, what if Kobo adds something like this to the configuration file or even better make it accessable through the GUI (there a numerous other basic settings that are still not accessable through the GUI.)
Code:
readingHeaderHeight=
readingHeaderFontSize=
readingFooterHeight=
readingFooterFontSize=
Or
Code:
readingFullScreen=true/false
To bypass header and footer settings and hide the header and footer completely.
I wish that future e-readers have a new, seperate firmware version from the existing models (including Aura HD, as this is a limited edition reader). The new reader will probably replace existing the Kobo Touch and Kobo Glo and make them EOL.
Why a new firmware
- features/settings should be designed/implemented with flexibility in mind.
- features/settings should be optional (hide). Kobos default can be on or visible.
- features/settings should be adjustable by the user through the GUI and/or configuration file.
- use the full screen (resolution) of a reading device (meaning no hardcoded, non-adjustable margins. Kobos default margins settings can be different, as long as they are not hardcoded)
For me, these basic rules should apply to (at least) the reading mode of the device. How Kobo implements other non-reading features is of lesser concern to me.
