Patches, we don' need no steenkin' patches... (apologies, I could not resist.)

I have newly virgin(sounds like a Hollywood plastic surgery consultation) firmware 3.3.0 and no problem with cut off characters with the header/footer on or off. But, I'm reading side loaded epubs, haven't tried a kepub, so that may be the key(pub). Perhaps the bug is related to kepubs, or renamed epubs-as-kepubs and the kepub renderer?

At any rate, it's nice to have the option of FULL page. Personally, I prefer the page number footers and alternating title/chapter headers, but may change my mind if I give it a decent trial.

I wouldn't mind seeing an option where they extract book title and chapter info from the metadata and epub text and alternated them as header on each new screen with page number footers and automagically ignored the ones some idiots have hardcoded into some of my files and now end up in the middle of pages... Grr. Yeah, yeah, REGEX this...

We need more AUTOMAGICAL processing. ;-) Do what I want, NOT what I tell you!
