Now imagine you never connect with wifi (I find it the most useless addon to an ereader by date, personally)

So far what I'm seeing on the KA1 is four of my books at the top, a tile for My Books and then a tile for Wishlist.

I don't have a wishlist (no internet connection) and My Books will show a few of the hundreds I have on the device and thus won't most likely never show what I want to read next. Two of the 3 tiles are useless here.

At the bottom are two sections of text: Browse for books to buy, borrow or preview and Discover books related to the ones you are reading. I assume the latter is recommended books, but it's just text, not book covers and it appears I'd have to click on it to actually SEE recommendations. I can live with that.

I don't ever buy books using the reader (again, no internet and I simply don't like the horribly slow touchscreen to do anything but select books and change pages and occasionally highlight), I don't borrow (don't even where from) and I don't connect to the site so my reader doesn't know what books are related to the ones I'm currently reading.
So, that bottom row is completely 100% useless to me.
In short, there's only one thing I want to see on my homescreen and that's the books I am currently reading and books I've recently read. All other information is useless to me and only takes space.
