Totally agree about the crowded home page. Fortunately I spend only a small time there and find when starting a new book I sometimes need to go to the list view to make sense of what I am seeing. My previous device was a Kobo Touch on firmware 1.9.17. I will gladly put up with a crowded, cluttered home page for the enhanced reading experience of the Aura.
My wife has a Nook Touch, but a couple of minutes with my Aura and she has ordered one for herself, in spite of confusion on the home page.
