Connect your Kobo to a computer. If it's a Windows computer, browse to the .kobo directory then to the Kobo directory. In the Kobo directory, open Kobo eReader.conf (use a Linux end of line aware editor -- Notepad++ works for me), look for [Feature Settings]. Under that heading add:
Code:
[FeatureSettings]
FullScreenReading=true
If you don't see [Feature Settings], simply add both lines.

Save the file and safely eject your Kobo. Look under Settings => Reading settings and you should see a Page Layout item with Show header and footer under it. Uncheck the On checkbox and you should now be reading in full screen mode. Please note that EVERYTHING is case sensitive.

If you are on a Mac OS X or Linux computer, the process is much the same and most simple text editors will work. The fun with these OS is that the '.' at the start of a directory makes it a hidden directory and you will need to enable viewing hidden directories. Google is your friend there.
