Hello all.

I recently updated my firmware to the latest version, but frankly, I really don't like it. The home screen is now really cluttered and I preferred my original home screen which was from around May 2012 (when I bought the Glo) and just showed the 5 most recent books - that suited me perfectly, no clutter etc.

But the thing I hate most about the new firmware (amongst some minor stuff) is the loss of the slider bar when in shelves view - swiping just doesn't work properly, often a swipe actually launches the book, then I have to trawl all the way back to the home screen then start again - awful! I actually have to do some kind of diagonal swipe to get around this and it just feels painful and slow.

So the long and short of this is: can I go back to my earlier firmware and if so, does anyone know which version had the slider and the simple 5-book homescreen?

Thanks in advance,
Tim.
