Cons:
- Top page margin is now bigger than it previously was, would rather this was set back to where it was pre-book title.
- Windows/orphans still exist, would be nice to see this fixed before epubs become obsolete.
- Page turns much slower, more prone to double page turns because touches to turn pages didn't seem to register.
- don't really like the new wifi icon, just not what I would think of as representing wifi
- The search bar on the home screen just seems out of place, perhaps a 4th option on the bottom of the screen that just says "Search" which brings up a search window rather than having a whole bar across the top of the screen.
- Don't need to see a finished book on the home screen.

Widows and orphans are part of the css specification. Default value is 3. Unless an ebook overrides that value, it should stay at 3.
Limited testing but I haven't noticed any slowness in page turns on my Aura. Nor have I noticed any double page turns to this point.
The WiFi icon looks like the WiFi icon on several other devices I own so can't say that it is unexpected.
Removing the search bar and having it pop up with the settings menu or from an icon on the top bar would give more screen area for tiles -- especially good for the Glo.
Quite often I refer back to a finished book when reading a series so a + for me to have them remain on the home screen. Long press and dismiss will get rid of them or simply opening more books.
