As far as I am concerned, the new home screen is an improvement. I get more tiles so placing a 6 book series on the screen is easy, adding books does not push my current reads off the screen, I can long press most of the tiles and dismiss them. Finished books remain on the screen until they are pushed off by newer tiles or I choose to dismiss them -- again, when reading a series, that makes it a lot easier to refer to an earlier book. I have a little tile for the web browser making it easier to open for a quick look up unless I do so much that it gets pushed off the screen.
I've seen the carousel on an Aura when I was doing some experimenting and left it on 2.4.1 after a factory reset. That interface does not compare to the tiles introduced with 2.5.1 in making my Aura easier to use. My wife seems very happy with the tiled interface on her Glo as well and she is not one who takes easily to interface changes.
Overall, a step forward from the carousel display.
As you have made obvious, your opinion is not the same as mine. Please feel free to express that opinion. However, I'd like to suggest that when you write in this forum, you try to achieve a politer level of writing by leaving out the profanity.
I do wonder why you appear to believe that Canadians are closer to Brits than Americans and what that has to do with interface design?
