Sometimes I wish I was in on the decision making process for features. Personally I’m good with options to remove the header and footer and have a progress bar.
However I’d have been able to tell Kobo people would want to put the information they want where they want and have the choice to have the progress bar be the chapter or the book. People like customization options for how their book looks. Something kobo has generally done better than Amazon or BN in terms of font sizes, weight, line spacing, and margins, settings. Yeah the other two have them to some degree but Kobo gives more granularity.
