A link to the shop and suggestions what to read (even if the user manual) is unsolicited adverts. I'm not wrong about the previous style home. You could dismiss unwanted tiles in Calibre. No patching. Then the ENTIRE home screen was the same as current top row. Zero unwanted content. Zero adverts.

Perhaps we have a different concept of Advertising AKA Marketing?

I might even have a screen shot of the old home screen. Certainly the current one is about 2/3rds totally wasted and the covers a little too large with Annotation number removed from press to see summary. I don't understand. It sounds like you are defending Kobo's Marketing and degrading of home screen which is driven by appearance and Marketing (Advertising), not the usability.
