I agree that we should be able to customize the main screen a bit more (dismiss tiles that can't be dismissed, disabling reading life and whatnot) but I don't really see a point in not having your recent activities showing up on your screen since there's not much to do in an ereader anyway. And trust me, I usually HATE that recent activities trend everyone seems to be including in their systems or apps or whatever, like Amazon with their tablets and recently with their Kindle Android app, or Google with Google Books. But if you don't want Sketchpad there, dismiss it. You said it yourself, Sketchpad is impractical on a device like this. I've used it once and never again because it sucks. And then I dismissed the tile from my home screen and that was the end of it. It's an experimental feature anyway.
As far as the tiles UI goes, I'm a big fan, they look great. At least on the Aura, can't speak for the Glo. Same thing on responsiveness, everything works fine here on my Aura. In my opinion, the only thing in your post that qualifies as a failure is the brightness bar being moved from the bottom to the centre of the screen. That's annoying.
