I liked the functionality/customisability of the tiled home screen too, but the layout was more cluttered and messy than the current (FW 4.9) neater home screen. So I prefer the layout of the current home screen but the second row of items is completely useless. Maybe merge the two home screens? Have the first row be like the current home screen and the second row be customisable tiles? Of course preference for home screen layout is very personal and there won't be one home screen that everyone agrees on to be the best, so maybe make the home screen layout customisable as well? 😄
Oooh now I can't wait for the new GUI 😁

I too really dislike the new home screen and much preferred the customizable tiles on the old home screen. Mostly to have the tiles I want to see, especially more than 1 Collection.
The reason the old screen was so messy looking is because Kobo didn't stick to uniform sizes for the tiles. With each tile a slightly different size it ended up looking like someone trying to play with blocks and failing. Badly.
I once posted images of what I wanted to see in a home screen with blocks being uniformly sized for whatever it was (found the old post
here), images I could put here. But that's still my preference over this new screen, I still hate it. At least there's a way to remove the 3rd line with the recommendations.
