I updated 2 Glo HDs today to 4.3.8945. The spare I first updated was from 4.3.8842 to 4.3.8945, and both times kept the old screen. That got me to then put it on my main reader, which I updated from 3.19.5761 directly to 4.3.8945, and that one unfortunately has the new screen. Going to do the patch now to put it back to the old home screen. Both were updated over wifi by syncing with affiliate=bol.
One of the big reasons I wanted 4.3.8945 was because they finally did away with the idiotic phrasing of "
My Books" and "
My Collections." I can't begin to say how much I've always hated that "My" added to everything in Windows, it's my dragging-your-fingernails-across-the-chalkboard thing to me every time I see it. But it's back with the new home screen, so if I thought I hated the new home screen before, you can imagine how much I hate it now.
I'd be happy never updating again if that's what it took to avoid the new home screen should they ever decide to stick with it and force it to everyone. I prefer purchasing all books from my PC only to keep them all located in one central place, so I only sideload my books, and never use the browser on my reader either.
And the patch worked beautifully to get rid of the new home screen on my main reader, thank you GeoffR.
