But, seriously, I hardly ever see my Home Screen in the Nook. It's kind of a different deal than what you have with the Kindle. When you push the "Nook" button, you can go directly to Home, or your Library, or the Shop, or Search or Settings. The only "ads" (ahem, "suggestions") you'll see is on the Home screen (and the Store, of course). And you really never have to go there. With the Kindle the Home Screen is how you get to everything else. |
On my Kindle I can get everywhere from the universal Menu overlay.
The Home screen is where you go for the combined book list with integrated collections grouping.
As doubleshuffle points out, it's all a matter of taste. But my taste prefers the Kindle UI over the screenshots and stuff I've seen for the Kobo, and the experience holding my friends' Nooks.
