The old home screen, as I recall, could have at least seven books displayed. The new one seems restricted to four, which is too few for my purposes.

Is there any way to get around this limitation of four? At the moment half of the home screen is occupied with crap which I can't dismiss and in which I have no interest.
Best fix is to go back to a previous version and don't turn wifi on again, or connect to the desktop app. That way you avoid updates. You can download your Kobo books to your PC and side load to your device. I have one of my devices on the new screen. Can't say I like it all that much.
