So, this looks pretty interesting, especially the new firmware. It seems some of the patches will become irrelevant, but I can think of a few more I'll probably do for this version. Also, note that the patches for this version will probably be delayed by up to a week, as a lot has changed in the structure (I can think of at least 10 patches which will need a rewrite), and I'm also quite busy at the moment (which is why you haven't seen me around much for the last few weeks).

And some patches which will probably be deprecated:
- GeoffR / Always show chapter name in slider menu
- geek1011 / Both page turn buttons go next (https://youtu.be/CgZd3zbC0Aw?t=544, now it supports turning in reverse, which might be good enough for everyone)
- GeoffR / Clock display duration
- GeoffR / Reduce top/bottom page spacer
- geek1011 / Set reading footer height

And some patches which will probably need rewriting:
- GeoffR / Custom footer (page number text)
- GeoffR / Fix three KePub fullScreenReading bugs (this is probably not even needed anymore, so I might just remove it if my test books work)
- GeoffR / Keyboard ... (this actually broke in 4.16.13162)
- geek1011 / Remove PDF page turn arrows
- jackie_w / Custom menubar - reduce height by ...
- oren64 / Increase size of kepub chapter progress chart (this actually broke in 4.16.13162) (this may have been removed completely anyways...)
- geek1011 / Replace adobe page numbers toggle with invert screen
- geek1011 / Both page turn sides go next
- GeoffR / Custom left & right margins
- GeoffR / KePub stylesheet additions

And some new patches:
- Remove the bottom progress bar (although I like it)
- Change the design of the page preview arrows (make them wider/taller/smaller)
- Disable page preview
- Change header/footer margins
- Probably a few more

These lists will be finished later, as I look around at the review videos.

Overall, I like the new design, but it'll be a nightmare to update the patches if they changed as much as I suspect.

And, davidfor, did they get rid of the kepub stats view (I didn't notice it in the reviews so far)? I really liked that chapter chart.
