It's funny because the only application I've used in a long while that's "outdated" is the Nook for Android application. That application
almost supports full screen, too ... it's maddening. I was a part of the Beta program, but they didn't seem to accept any of my feedback. I considered tracking them down and offering to contract for them on the side, but I don't think "your software still sucks" was the appropriate attitude.

As others have stated, I'm pretty sure the task switcher button and back are swapped on the Tab 4, but it's not that big of an issue.

I prefer real buttons, especially as so few applications support full screen mode. In general, the location of the buttons don't seem to move, though, so I'm not sure it'd solve your problem.
I completely agree on setting up the defaults, though. In some cases, they may be handcuffed, though. (They are required to include all of the Google suite, including Books, to include the Play Store and it's possible the same agreement forbids them from changing certain features, like default file behaviors.)
