Strange. On my desktop, there was the small advertising pane on the right-hand side of the library screen. You didn't need to click to get away from a full page of spam in order to see your books like you have to do now...
It wasn't the shortlist on the screen that people were complaining about - it was it defaulting (and staying there, for some) to advertising (euphemistically called "recommendations").
Dunno why anyone'd want a wishlist, personally, since there isn't any way to publicize it to your friends & family and have them buy it for you... Really, the only use seems to be to give Kobo marketing data.
