I have to say I am surprised that the new home screen has a 46% approval rating on this poll.

I have held off upgrading because in my consideration the new home screen takes away a whole lot of functionality and replaces it with little new.

Someone put it this way earlier, and I agree with them - The old home screen felt like it was my device. The new screen gives the impression that the device belongs to Kobo and I merely lease it.
