Decided to bite the bullet and update my KA1. And for all my previous whining, I don't mind the new home screen much at all. Quite easy to live with.
Have tried putting it to sleep and powering it off and on several times to see what would happen to the home screen. The middle right section which had been showing me various selections of unsolicited book covers on my Aura, now consistently just shows an author whose books I have loaded onto the device.
I wonder if the reason the new home screen on my Aura behaved differently than that on my KA1 is because I had so few books on it and they were all on an external micro SD card...
Regardless, am happy that I updated as the new firmware seems more responsive and there don't seem to be any difficulties with Chinese fonts and Chinese epubs on my KA1 unlike when I tried the new firmware on my Aura. Strange.
