My browser works just fine, tyvm. The link goes to an entire page, and unless you are specific as to what post or screenshot you are talking about, I'm not going to assume it's any specific one, especially since you posted other screenshots on that page and talked about "buttons" when there are no real buttons on the screenshot you had in mind.

That fug-ugly massive black bar at the bottom is anything but "button-less". All three buttons are clearly there, although in reduced shape.

As for calling those barely visible things "buttons" AFTER they've already faded away in the app, I can only SMH. We will have to agree to disagree even about the language used here.
As for being put off by a black bar that takes up such a tiny portion of a 7" screen, that is your choice. But even after immersion you are still going to have a BLACK border on the bottom of your pages. It will be your device you're looking at so I suppose you will think that is fugly too. Because aesthetically it will look essentially the same -- only the page portion will be slightly proportionally larger.

That's irrelevant. What matters is that the bar itself is, for me, an absolutely unacceptable waste of screen real estate. To you, it may be the peak of ecstasy, but I'm not you. It's ugly and unacceptable, especially now with KitKat's "immersive mode" being available.

No, it's not irrelevant, because when you said "buttons" I thought you were talking about what MOST people would consider the software buttons on an Android screen:
... and not the menu/nav bar with the buttons already faded out. A lot of this conversation is moot because of this difference.
And, no, the black bar is certainly not the "peak of ecstasy" to me .. but neither is it an "ugly, massive black bar" that disrupts my reading enjoyment. Far from it. In fact, it's totally a non-issue. I don't even notice it since it blends totally into the black frame of my tablet. It's neither here nor there for reading epubs.
Yes, I know you are different from me. So we will just agree to disagree on everything.
Where I think immersion will really make the biggest difference is video, PDFs, comics and other graphics-based ebooks.
