The page breaks bug is fixed in firmware 3.5.0, but the `Fix page breaks bug` patch also has the side effect of disabling widows/orphans processing which could still be useful if you are reading DRM epubs or don't use Calibre for sideloading. (DRM-free epubs can have the widows/orphans settings set automatically using the "Modify CSS" feature of the KoboTouch driver in Calibre).

Starting in firmware 3.3.0 there is an experimental full-screen reading mode which can be activated by adding "FullScreenReading=true" to the [FeatureSettings] section of the device's .conf file and selecting an option from the Reading Settings menu. However the full-screen mode still has a few issues that affect kepubs, so the `Disable reading footer` patch might still be useful for those reading kepubs.
Thanks for re-adding Disable reading footer. I had been meaning to make a post on here asking if you could add it back in as I can not stand the cut off setting with the FullScreenReading=true. Your work definitely makes using the Kobo so much better. Thanks!
