Just updated (hadn't thought to check for an update until tonight), and unfortunately I'm another person having the annoying issues with needing to tap multiple times on various menus to get the screen to update - both the new menu on the home screen and changing how you sort on the library screen (author, title, etc) for sure. Yes, tapping on an innocuous portion of the screen works, but I seem to have to wait a few seconds after pressing the first time - if I press anywhere on the screen right after selecting the menu item, absolutely nothing happens. It does kind of seem like it thinks its switching screens, just not actually refreshing, so I have to wait for the processor to finish that step before it'll recognize the new press, and finally update correctly.
I am another with a largeish number of books - currently at 588. It seems like the people who are having issues have larger libraries, and those who have or have forcibly created smaller libraries don't have it. I have no clue why this would be an issue - it really, really shouldn't have anything to do with the GUI, but it does seem to be a sort of pattern.
Other thoughts - don't mind having the shortlist on the main screen, though I'd really prefer just one list (and not the carousel, which is dumb and sorts newly added books in descending order!), as many others have suggested. Really, as much as I wasn't a huge fan at the time, I much prefer the old 'newly added slash reading list' from the Kobo mark 1.
Not crazy about the idea of the recommended list, as that really belongs on the 'store' screen and not home screen, as far as I'm concerned.
