Hello,

I am hoping someone can help. I have been trying to remove the recommended books icon from the home page of my Kobo Aura 2 H2O.

I have tried the long press to open a dialogue menu but this does not work for that icon. I am able to do so for the book I am reading and my books icons, so it is not a problem with the long press. Also the long press had worked on my Kobo Aura 1 (which I accidentally dropped and broke; that model is no longer available in local stores). However, Kobo seems to have disabled this function for the recommended books on the Aura 2. I would still like to remove them from my homepage.

I had asked Kobo Help on their website. They responded with a mean trick to me. Following their instructions deauthorized and reset my reader.

I then had to go to a lot of trouble to get the device reauthorized so that I could download and read books (my original log-in was so old I could not remember the original password). I then had re-run the entire set-up process of my device. After all of that, the recommended book list was still on my home screen

Now, the reader has gratuitously added a new recommended list based on the author of the book that I am currently reading. Again, the long press does not work to dismiss this icon.

PLEASE could someone tell me how to remove these recommended books lists from the homepage of my e-book reader?

Thank you!
