It's the lack of attention to detail, while obviously spending a lot of time to rebuild a home page that a lot of people liked better with the carousel. At least the images were large enough that you could EASILY determine what book it was on the central portion of the carousel.

From a practical standpoint I realize you can't catch everything, or spend a lot of time on it, but come on, this sort of thing should be a near no-brainer.
Yes please, allow choice of landscape mode, especially on the Kobo Mini.
The carousel home page would be more useful than the current tile home page too.

Which is the better after-market reader of these two [Koreader or Coolreader]. It would be nice to use the wasted space at the top and bottom of the screen where the page numbers go, once again especially on the Mini which is short on screen space to begin with.

Thanks for your replies, cheers NH
