My current Aura H2O reading stats show 280 books finished and 1325 hours of reading time - and I know that's low, as I've had to restore from backups a few times, which knocks the clock back.

One thing I do to keep the home screen clear is delete books from the device as soon as I'm finished with them. I've got 940 or so titles on the H2O at present, and maybe 100 are finished-but-retained. (Most of those are Heinlein, King, and Holt.) With those, I simply dismiss the "finished" tiles from the home screen when I'm done. I rarely have a tile show up in the third home screen column these days.

No, you think it should matter to them, which is quite a different assertion than that it does. You may even be correct in that assessment, but if they've decided that they're not interested, it ain't gonna happen.

Me, I like having my current-read cover as the sleep/off screen, and I wish the Kindle would offer that as an option instead of using plain white for Off and a random wallpaper for Sleep. Mileage varies, as they say. My only quibble with the Kobo treatment is that I wish the progress display on the full-screen cover was less obtrusive; I find the white box ugly.
