I'm glad I'm not the only one hesitating on the update because of the change.

Apparently, Kobo was more in touch with the masses.

I read on breaks at work, short fifteen minute blocks of time. So if I finish a chapter five minutes in and the next one is seven or eight pages, I'll read through it. If it's longer, I'll likely wait until lunch. My use case is likely different from others.
I wouldn't mind reducting the chapter page progress to an even smaller line like the Nook and Kindle do.

Yeah, if disabled, the chapter info is a tab away. But I discovered the patch to remove the footer height by 50% and since then I've grown very attached to leaving it on. And it only removed one line of text.
