I think both devices should get rid of that "feature" or at least make it optional (disable-able?)

I agree with your description. It is not like they ask the reader to buy a vacuum cleaner or a microwave oven, the banner displays books based on your recent purchases. I also agree that it would be nice to have an on/off setting for the banner but, honestly, I never go to the home screen, so I couldn't care less - I only use the library and the reader.
