Just being able to remove the awful screen margins is already worth it. Whose idea was it to have 30% of the screen real estate be unused when reading a book

Probably related to the same dumbasses at google who decided that the text boxes while using directions on maps needed to stay on the screen to cover about half of it. You used to be able to tap once and have the boxes be hidden but they took that out in one of the "updates".
