Huh, I don't even remember that there were dots in the cover view. List view yes. I can't even recall what they might have looked like. Either my brain is turning into swiss cheese, or I get used to new things so fast that other stuff falls out of it to make space.
If they were there before, I wonder why they only put them back for list view then. Maybe even they forgot they were there.
I always liked the 5.7 update so there is that.
I am actually still looking where the KU recommendations are based on genre one specifies in this new update. I see the regular recs, but for me they are mixed with non KU titles in the store. I don't see any section to put in genres. I only see that on goodreads, which was already there with previous update. But that is goodreads recs and not KU recs.
