Long ago, somewhere around firmware 2.5.2 or so, Kobo tried adding a large page header to ePubs to match the header in KePubs, but quickly reversed it (because of complaints?) Maybe if enough people complain they will reverse it this time too.

I think this is the first time there has been an official firmware update for my device that I won't be installing. I am going to stick with 4.8.11073 which still has the ePub full-scren mode. I can't imaging any possible improvement they could make to the firmware in the future that would make up for the loss of full-screen mode.
