Different people like different home screens. I like the current one because it allows me to remove the tiles for books that I decided not to read, it gives highlights and annotations information, adds tiles for the "Extras" that I use, give basic reading statistics (percent completed and time left) for books that I'm reading, and allows me to check that new books have been side-loaded at a glance. If the screen fills up, it'll even keep a history of books that I've started. (The titles pop back up when I dismiss tiles from books I've read.)

Clearly your opinion differs. That's fine, please recognize that different people have different tastes.
