I agree with this, but since you can't use DRM files from other sources anyway, you're talking non-DRM LIT, DOC, etc. files and you can easily convert those to MOBI before putting them on your Kindle.

I would much prefer all the space be dedicated to the content. Is this still an issue with Kindle 2? Does anyone even think this is an issue? I may be overdoing it.

I've only seen one other person complain about it, so I think it's a relative non-issue. I think if you want to read manga or comic books you should be getting a color display device anyway. (Yeah, manga is mostly black & white, but has some color pages.) But generally speaking the status bar isn't a distraction.
