Periodicals on PRS-T2: Economist

Hi all, a large part of my readings is periodicals, most notably the Ecnomist. I've recently switched from a Paperwhite and find the Sony lacking, but hastily concede this might well be my fault.

The first issue I tried looked like a book w/o any special periodical effect. I quickly learned I had to switch the output profile to Sony. Done. The next issue now presents me with
* a content button (Inhaltsverzeichnis in German), which is alway present taking up 2 cm of screen estate,
* section navigation (not in German ), on the top plus on the bottom,
* a title band on top, always present, giving the title and issue date.
As you can see--hopefully--in the attached photo, there's hardly any screen estate left to read on. Yikes! Something must be very wrong here.

Also, I notice that the Sony doesn't do upward and downward swipes to jump articles--I presume that's just a general Sony speciality?

Please, do help me optimize my periodicals' experience. I am otherwise quite taken with the Sony (miss the light though, but I obviously knew about that).
