A case in point, Kindle. Don't go with the Win 8 version. Stay with the Desktop version.

Just in case there is any misunderstanding I did not mean to infer that the modern apps from the Store (or which come preloaded) were the ones to aim for but that the modern start page was worth a try rather than using the classic menus.
One can, of course, put all ones desktop applications on that (in fact it is far easier to manage than the old Windows classic menu) and, also of course, one can remove all the unwanted preloaded apps that come with the Win 8 install from it.
For example, as JSWolf says, I also find that the Kindle desktop application is better than the modern (Microsoft Store) one, but I start that from the modern start page, not the desktop.
Some Store apps I do find a use for though, especially on smaller displays such as on a notebook. It is early days for the Store still and so it can be a bit of a chore finding good stuff.
