So what exactly are you asking for here?

  2. Dictionary, remove long winded closest match notification
    If the argument %1 is not used, %2 still get the first value.
OK, I'll take a look. Thanks. Also, note that you can submit these kinds of changes directly on GitHub by browsing to the file and pressing edit, then opening a pull request. It's easier to keep track of that way.

2) Default "Home" to go to "My Books" or "Collection". Either that or re-sort the menus so those are at the top.

3) Shrink Header/Footer height. Both my wife and I like to see it but having it be 3-4 columns high when there's only 1 column of information... At first glance it looks like the height of these is set so when the menu's show it's not covering the book so not sure if that one is possible.

4) Ability to customize the footer/header information. I like the footer to show pages left in the chapter but I miss the % read showing as well (like on the kindle). Be nice to be able to add more options to show on the footer.
1) I'll take a look.
2) That may be possible. It depends on how the code is structured.
3) There's a few patches for that. I use "Custom reading footer style" (footer size), "Set reading footer height" (footer menu size), "Custom menubar - reduce height by 33%" (header menu size), and "Reduce top/bottom page spacer" (header/footer size) for this.
4) I am planning on a patch to add a clock (but it's a bit above my skill level, so I'm learning when I have time).

P.S. I'm starting on updating the patches later tonight.
