Well, I found something to make it work - how it does, I have NO idea.

I was sitting, thinking about how in this new firmware the page numbers keep cropping up on the side, despite my having that little box checked off under "Reading Settings", and having to check it, go back to the page, go back to reading settings and uncheck it EVERY TIME I wake from sleep.

So I went to "Settings>Sleep and Power", unchecked all the boxes under the show covers section. I put the reader to sleep, up popped the cover image with the info banner, despite having NONE of that checked. The cover is not full screen, so I went back in, checked "show cover> show cover full size". That caused it to revert back to blank cover image. Nothing I did could return that cover image with the info banner, I either got just the cover image and no info banner, the "sleep image" alone or just the blank cover with name, format and info banner.

I rebooted the Kobo (having to pull out the card and reinsert to make it wake up the card), went back to "Settings>Sleep and power" unchecked the cover options, then rechecked "show cover image". Put the reader to sleep, and up pops the cover - NOT full screen (but that's okay) AND the info banner (despite that not being checked). So I'm leaving it alone, I have no idea why it's working, but it does. For now. Toes crossed.
