- Set the smallest margins possible.

How many lines are on the page with these settings? I'd also very much like to see a picture.
36 lines at 66 Characters per line (I think, unless I miss counted closest I could get it to 67 per line. Without the large bottom margin you could fit another two lines of text I think at this font size. This is using JSWolf's Charis SIL font. The next size smaller jumps to 74 characters per line and 39 lines to the page.

I don't mind to convert to kepub to make these things work. Having font weight work on custom fonts would be a very nice bonus, but I can understand that you need some sort of special font format to make that work.

Thanks for anyone who can test this.
font weight does not work on custom fonts
it does work on side-loaded epubs as long as you use one of kobo's fonts
Chapter graph does not work on side loaded books, all you get is percent read for the book as a whole.

No way to disable the page number at the bottom that I am aware of.
