By default kepubs have a header (containing book title) and a footer (book progress).
Standard epubs have a footer (Page x of y or a %) but no header. By default there is no whitespace to distance the text from the top bezel. There are various ways to force some whitespace if you want it but no way to show the book title in the header.
If you enable the undocumented 'full screen mode', you have an option to remove both header and footer. This works for both epub and kepub.
ETA: The gap at the bottom of the page in standard epubs is due to 2 different things.
Firstly Kobo, by default, set a very large footer margin. Firmware patches to reduce the size exist for those with the technical confidence to apply them.
Secondly, the standard epub renderer (Adobe) assumes widows/orphans settings of 2 lines unless your books specify otherwise. This can result in some pages having large gaps at the bottom. There are various ways to force widows/orphans to 1 line either by firmware patches or via enabling an option in the calibre Kobo driver, assuming you're a calibre user and your books do not have DRM.

Thanks for the reply.
I have converted some epubs to kepubs with Calibre but my problem, now, is that the Aura One does not recognise them.
If I change the kepub extension to epub it recognises the book, but, of course, the missing header problem remains.
