The Mini and Touch retain the carousel interface. I haven't tried to remove the sync tile on the Glo to see how many book tiles I can have but going by the size of the current tiles, I'd guess around 8 tiles instead of the 11 tiles the Aura shows (these are for books only with no bookmark and all other tiles dismissed). The difference between the 1080x1440 display of the Aura, the 758x1024 display of the Glo and the 600x800 display of the Touch and Mini would make it harder to use the tiled interface on the smaller display resolutions.
What I find rather odd is that the size of the tiles varies depending on the aspect ratio of the cover image. A 450x684 cover image has a larger tile than a 510x680 cover image. It appears that a 3x4 aspect ration gets the smallest tile (a 3x2 aspect ratio gets the same size tile but with only half the thumbnail filled, the rest is white) while a 3x5 aspect ratio gets a taller thumbnail and tile.
