Err, some correction with regards to full screen text.

Yes, you can enable full screen option by manually adding a line to the config file.

One thing to do note is you might also want to add the option to disable fast page flipping. Otherwise, full screen text will occupy parts of the screen that you can not select for dictionary/highlighting/annotation.

Full screen reading works with *both* regular epub and Kobo Kepub, but each have different caveats.

With regular epub full screen, there is no top or bottom margin. So text ends up right against the bezel. Some people who hate wasted space appreciate this. On Kepub, the user preference margin size is applied around the entire screen, top, bottom, and sides.

With Kepubs, there are text clipping issues. You can work around ie by either, tweaking the epubs, applying the relevant patches from the Kobo developer forum here, or using the abilities of the Kobo extended driver to modify css on the fly when using Calibre send boos device, (I've documented this method in the ultimate tricks/tips thread. It's a rather large how-to for an e-reader, but the advantage to this method is you only have to do it once, and it survives updates.)
