I don't mind the new home screen. It's certainly not an improvement and I'd be happy if Kobo would launch a revamped version of the tiles. But the new homescreen isn't bad.
The thing is, you have to use it long enough so that it the Recommended box in the lower right quadrant changes. Mine usually shows a collection of other books in my library by the author of my current book. So the new home screen does change and adapt, though it's not as customizable as the tiles were.
And the increased ghosting seems to be some weird effect of the newest firmware. I didn't have that issue previously. It only seems to effect original 6" Auras.

yes i have the latest firmware on my Kobo Touch. the main thing i dislike about the new home screen is the inability to have a dozen collections on it if i so wish. when you have 22 pages of collections to scroll through it's much easier having as many of those collections as possible on the home screen.
i know i can use search to find a book instead and it doesn't slow down even with 3000+ books but i prefer to go into the collections.
if/when i try another firmware on my Aura 6" it will be 3.19.5760 first.
edit to correct spelling of sickel. i'm also not keen on the sickel feature which 3.16.0 doesn't have.
best wishes koboy
