If you read the text-to-speech "bug thread" you will see that apparently, it has been modified, also. Apparently it works better and fixed one bug someone noticed. There are also changes to the way subscriptions or periodicals are displayed.
I find sometimes using the BACK button gets me back to a place rather than winding up at HOME or back to "index 1" as mentioned by the original poster. For example, if I am adding books to a collection, after I've added one book, I press BACK a couple of times and I'm back in the middle of my book list rather than at the first home page.
I doubt you will see "simpler" offerings or ones with less social networking stuff. I think we will all swim or sink together. I don't use social networking and do not have a facebook account - no matter how many invites friends send!
