Compared with my current homescreen which has about 90% of screen that I can actually use and and want (I only would want to get rid of that search bar on top)
The rest of the space WON'T stay empty. It will be populated with things that are on your device. It will be populate with collections or authors or the other items that do not need any interaction with the Kobo server.

And I've just looked at the home screen on my Glo HD. The only thing on it that is remotely advertising is the store link in the bottom left. EVERYTHING else is a book, a collection, an author or something that opens an action that does not need the WiFi on.

You have simple choice: Go back to a previous firmware, probably 3.19.x, or put up with it and actually learn how it works.
