Then you won't like the new Kindles, or the Kobos, which have no Home Button and require two screen presses to get to the Home Screen when in Book View. I happen to like the Kindle Touch and my Non Touch Basic use of the Home Button -- but no new Kindle has that now.

But, at any rate, how you get to the Home Screen really wasn't my point -- my point was you don't have to use the Home Screen -- ever. And, yes, you press the Nook "N" button and choose Library (or you can choose Home, or Shop, or Search or Settings -- and on the Glowlight version, "Glowlight"). It takes two key presses (just like the Kobo and the new Kindles). One thing, however, that it superior in my opinion, is that you can always go directly back to the book you're reading from any Screen, by pressing the Book Icon in the upper left corner.

At any rate, you can just use to the Library View, if you find the Home Screen is too ugly. You'll never have to see the Home Screen again.
