My current reads remain on the screen. With the Mini/Touch/Glo interface, the newly added books would replace the currently being read books on the carousel and I would be forced to dig into the library and re-open them.

2. When you finish a book, the tile remains on the home screen marked as finished. Very handy when you want to go back to an earlier book in a series to check whether the author indeed screwed up the continuity. You can dismiss the finished tile or just leave it to roll off the screen as you read more books. Currently, I have 8 books, the reading stats and the sync tile on screen.

3. When I open an application, it get a little tile so I can re-open it without having to dig into the settings/extras menu.

4. You can dismiss any tile other than Sync. Why that tile was made a protected tile between 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 is a mystery to me.

For me apart from the DPI, the main screen is the best reason to get an Aura rather than a Glo, far less frustrating
