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.
Whereas it seems to me that implementing a landscape/portrait mode should have been possible for the developers without much effort at a certain point, cf. e.g. this experiment (last two images), more recent FWs seem to go another direction.
