* annotated books don't work well with epubs on kobo (they were okay with sony)
* the zoom possibilities for pictures are convenient
* the page number by chapter felt strange at first, but I wouldn't go back to the page number by books. This is especially true for complete works, or collections of short stories, and I jump page for each poem in poetry collections. If I want to know where I am in the whole book, I tap bottom centre to get the % top centre. Also I add the number of pages as a first line in the metadatas to have the information at hand.
Couldn't agree with this more. I was going to get rid of the header, and keep the footer, but I'm getting so used to it I think I'll probably keep it. The page looks like a book page rather than part of a book page. Silly I know, but I really like it.
