My home page seems pretty random. The library thing works and the shelf opening works, but different shelves all of the time.

The shelf thing is easy to explain in that I browse different shelves frequently when deciding what to read even if I have to hit the shelf button and go for coffee

I read 4-10 books per week and sometimes (more than once a week) open a shelf/book and decide that is not what I am in the mood for, but often I will dismiss a shelf and a shelf I have never read from pops up or one I read a book from over a month ago pops up.

These shelves are not totally random as I believe I have at least actually opened them, but they aren't last in firstout or based on date accessed although frequently accessed seem to mostly be the case. The shelf I access the most comes back the most, but it also dissapears the most.
So I think Kobo keeps a list of shelves/icons, but I have no idea how they chose the one to replace the one you dismiss. Perhaps they attempt to sort them alphabetically and end up with random results.
