I've looked at this post a few times and never tried it. I'm not interested in altering things on the reader in general. But I finally decided this was really not intrusive, and gave it a go.
It works! How cool is that?? Thanks! I am completely idiotic at stuff like this, but you've managed to make it super easy for even me, and that is not an easy feat!
I really wish I could change my screen to have the top two rows just show 6 or 9 books, get rid of periodicals completely, and then it would look like I want it to look!
Prior to this, I was just bookmarking only the books I wanted to have quick access to, and then going under "all notes" to find them again.
