After my factory reset, I updated my Glo to 2.8.1 and the patch was accepted (though I still don't understand it fully).
My firmware says: 2.8.1 (b2c05cda0e, 7/15/13)
I still would like to understand the values I entered, which are 60 60 10
I think I'd like my text a little close to the bottom and top (if I can't get page x of y back, there is no point for me to keep some blank up and down there)
So to that end should I increase that value (say 80 80 10) or decrease it (40 40 10 or even less) ?

You are currently on the version used by Metazoa's 2.8.1 patch. However, if you are using 60 60 10, that suggests that you are not using the most recent patcher (V7) so I'd recommend updating to that version -- check the first message for where to download that version. In the V7 patch configuration files, there are two options. The first option removes the footer more or less entirely while the second option gives a much smaller footer with the page numbers present.
If you look at the v7 configuration file, you'll see two lines starting with "replace_zlib = 1205FF4, `ReadingFooter {. The line above the first instance says disable footer example while the line above the second instance says decrease footer example.
To use the decrease footer, place a # before the first instance of replace_zlib = and remove the # before the second instance. To change the height of the footer, look at the last part of the second instance where it reads:
`* {\n\theight: 25px;\n\tfont-size: 20px;\n}\n\n`
This sets the height to 25 pixels and the font size for the text to 20 pixels which works for my Aura. On the Glo with it's larger pixels, you might want to reduce those values to 18 and 14 as a starting point.
The earlier way of making changes which made changes for a specific device could and did run into issues where the changes meant the compressed code no longer fit into the space allocated. The new version does a wild card change for all devices using the * wild card and takes a lot less space.
