Hmmm. The home screen/desktop on Windows is designed to have links to stuff not necessarily supported by Microsoft. Priority is given to personal usability. It would be nice if the home screen were customizable so users can tailor it to their personal taste.
A fair proportion of the home screen links are more or less advertising: aimed at trying to steer you to the Kobo book store. But if you don't have wifi (I don't) those menus are a complete waste of space.
On a PC such aggressive marketing with a piece of software is usually heavily criticized. Give the owner the power to set up the options themselves.
