Is there a way to adjust the default patch for the custom footer a bit so it comes with epub near the kepub margin ?

That could be caused by a couple of things:
- @page doesn't work in kepubs, so if the book contains a @page margin it will show in the epub but not in the kepub.
- The kepub reader has a bug that makes some absolute lengths too small, so if the book has a body or paragraph margin specified in pt, mm, etc. then it will be smaller in kepubs than in epubs.
Edit: Could it also just be that the kepub header is a different size to the epub top margin? The text will not line up the same at the bottom of the page unless it starts in exactly the same position at the top of the page.

And a remark/warning.
The patch which disable the automatic update works well, BUT :
I sold both my Glo and Aura HD (for 2 glo HD) and used the firmware default setting to wipe out the device.
But when turned on, the device asked for the settings like language,time,wifi and then it tried to download the new firmware and that was blocked.
Then both devices went into a kind of bootloop,they keep rebooting and try to download the new firmware, when I pressed cancel it says that it needs the upgrade and asked for the desktop software.
But that doesn't recognise both readers, so I ended up with carefull opening both and use flash software to restore the images.
So before hitting the factory default button (device info,restore factory settings) be sure that you disable the patch and apply it,otherwise you are in trouble.
The setting itself is very useful to prevent the device from updating but especially with the Aura HD (it takes for ages before rebooting and retry) it looks like the firmware updates are also removed when you go back to factory default otherwise I don't understand why the devices tries to download an update while the latest firmware was already installed.

Thanks, I'll add a warning about that to the patch. I don't understand why it would happen though, as the factory reset should restore the factory firmware from the recovery partition which would wipe out any patches.
