Well, if you open an Aura, you can get it from the recovery partition. The files are in the "upgrade" directory of the device. Or at least, that's where they are for the Glo.

The old Home screen only showed the last 5 books loaded. If you were reading a book and loaded more than 4 books, the book you were reading was lost. You had to go find it in the library. On the Aura Home screen, when you load a lot of books it uses ONE tile (which you can dismis). You can actually remove whichever tiles (except the sync tile on 2.5.1) you like. It is basically a history of last viewed items. It makes it easy to go back to sudoko or word scamble or whichever of the last four or so books I have open. I find it the most useful Kobo Home screen since the original I'm Reading on the Original Kobo. In fact, I like this better since I have a lot of control over what stays on the screen. Larry |

By the way, I will go back to the shop tomorrow morning so I'll check the version number (if the devices haven't been updated, that is). |

Just one warning: any version of the firmware prior to 2.5 was designed for smaller and lower resolution screens. Some of the controls will be harder to press and the cover view on the home screen will be crammed into the top left corner. There were other bugs, but I forget what they were. (Needless to say, I ended up returning to 2.5.) |

And I am curious. I am pretty sure I can get the current home screen back if I want to, and probably will have to evntually anyway. May not even try the 2.x thing, but nice to have the option. Helen |

If it's not updated next time I go there, I'll try to take a picture of a "normal" page. |
