Request for fonts and optional header/footer display

Thanks!
About your two requests:

1. Semi-bold fonts:
Out of the 23 built-in fonts provided by BookMaster, Gentium Book Basic (vs. Gentium Basic), Hoefler Text, Iowan Old Style, Vollkorn, Roboto are fonts with thicker strokes. Apparently you want some fonts with even thicker strokes. Can you give me one or more font names as examples?

2. An option to remove headers and footers:
When the header and the footer on each page is not displayed, do you care if the resultant empty space is NOT used for displaying the body? On an iPad (vs. iPhone), the percentage of space taken by the header and the footer is very small, thus usually users don't care to "reclaim" the space. May I ask how many lines per page on average do you use for reading with BookMaster?
