If you use: FullScreenReading=true in the config file, you get another option in the gui to enable or disable full screen, in that modus there is no footer and header visible anymore.. but if there is a full refresh now intruduced,that will be visible at every pageturn and your battery will be empty much sooner. (I think that is the consequence because I didn't updated yet.. I always wait to see if there are new bugs.. pardon me, I always wait to see which new bugs are introduced with a new firmware.. this maybe doesn't count as a bug because fullscreen isn't a documented feature..)
Thanks. I'm guessing that's the .kobo\Kobo\Kobo eReader.conf file?

If so, then no worries I guess, I won't be using it. I must be the only one who doesn't mind headers & footers in kepubs .

I'm with you IanD -- I actually like the kepub headers and footers. Together with the cover screensaver, it makes me feel like I'm reading a physical book -- but with all the advantages of an ebook device!

Exactly!

Plus the fun of seeing progress in whatever format I prefer at the time

Dear God, another FW with "pinch to zoom" bug! Now I'm sure my Kobo Aura will never get rid of it. Even Microsoft fixes bugs like this. Again very, very dissappointing.
So I'm sticking with FW 12.1

People say "bug" when they (we) mean "problem", just like they say "screen saver" when they mean "sleep image" or "smart quotes" when they mean "curly quotes" (or "then" when they mean "than" )

And folder when they don't know that they should be meaning directory.

Microsoft & Apple have taken proper terms like directory and incorrectly changed the name.

If only people would start to correctly name it "IEEE Standard 802.11" instead of "Wifi"...

A firmware bug is a fault in the code.

A lot of the problems people report are not actually bugs, I agree: some are design choices made by Kobo, some are caused by hardware faults, some are misunderstanding about how something is supposed to work, some by publisher mistakes in the book, etc.

I am fairly sure the problem with the FullScreenReading refresh is caused by a bug.

Tnx
To find out about new device firmware releases I suggest that you subscribe to:
Direct Links to Kobo Firmware (started by, and maintained by, murg)

The first few posts not only tell you which firmware versions are for what device, they also advise how to install.

As murg is taking some R&R at the moment he has not updated his first post to 'officially' advise of the new firmware release, so here is arasyi's post with the details.

Kobo appear to be expanding to Turkey. They have added "Türkçe" as an interface language. But, in the dictionaries, there is only a "English - Türkçe".

It seems to me that complaining about bugs in unsupported features is one of the best ways to get those features up to "supported" status.

I for one really appreciate the fullscreen feature and I'm annoyed that my new H20 arrived just too late for me to avoid installing 3.18 until the problem was fixed.
