Perhaps some of us like the multiple tiles on the front screen and even find them useful? Personally, one use I find handy is when I reread a series. I will open the books from the library view in reverse series order so when I return to the home screen the books have tiles in the correct order. Dismiss the finished book and the next book in the series moves up to the big tile. I also use the home screen when I'm editing books -- tap on the annotations at the bottom of the book tile and open the annotations view. Unless you long press a book in library view, there is no indication if it has annotations.
As for knowing what I am reading, currently my home screen has 6 active tiles -- 3 fiction books I'm reading for enjoyment, a cookbook and three non-fiction ebooks (one each from Cisco, Microsoft and Palo Alto that I'm referring to at work). I do realize that other people use their ereaders differently but a cover image only on the home screen strikes me as singularly uninformative and useless.
