1. Attach Kobo to PC/Mac with USB cable and click transfer mode on KOBO screen.
2. Locate "Kobo eReader.config" on the KOBO eReader/.kobo folder.
3. Ctrl-click or right-click on "Kobo eReader.config" and open file with a basic text-editing program like TextEdit, BBEdit or Notepad.
4. Add the following code to the file at the bottom - or anywhere, as long as it's separate from the other code:
[FeatureSettings] FullScreenReading=true
5. Save and safely eject your Kobo eReader.
6. Go to Reading Settings on Kobo. A checkbox now allows to remove header and footer to enable fullscreen mode.
Has been deprecated for a good long while, the header/footer individual toggles have been standard for... oh, surely over a year now, if not more?

On Kobo it uses trigger files to boot to another OS or document reader [often simple drawings saved as jpg-files]. KSM and kfmon are easier to set up than fmon, as this requires reinstall following every update. All have different other features.

- kobo start menu (KSM) - obsolete
- kfmon
- fmon
My brain hurts. And this is all kinds of wrong. fmon has been deprecated for years, and KFMon, does, in fact, require a reinstall after a FW update.
