Noooo... it was only my imagination when I called Kobo evil ...
Also a long time ago I said somewhere in some post that it was strange that despite time passing, why Kobo wasn't offering a full screen option and some Kobo defenders replied that it took time and was something complicated to implement ...
Well it turned out that one simple guy (Metazoa) did it on his own, fast and well done.

After all, zlib does offer a saving in space so that might be an excuse for the earlier changes. Now that Kobo has gone to using XOR to obfuscate the code, some of those conspiracy theories are beginning to sound rather likely. The only use for XOR is to hide information though not very well.
