In less than optimal light conditions (darkish, yet not quite dark enough to turn on the backlight) if the light doesn't fall on the device directly, the top line of text will be in the shade of the bezel. That's just ridiculous.
Let the "people" reply. Ridiculous, it may be but soooo easy to correct: you just have to insert a line of code to set up a top-margin (look for any calibre made epub for a hint); the problem is that the contrary is not true. If your top-margin is set by Kobo, you're stuck with it, you cannot decrease it.

Sometimes I read or produce books with images that I like to see with a full page display (up to the bezel). You should try it. It can be amazing.
