the choice/option to have multiple collections/book covers on the old tiled homescreen and the ability to dismiss them all if i choose/want to do so far outweighs any of the new features/improvements.

each to their own


edit. the collections taking forever and a day to go into/freezing has nothing to do with preferring the far more user friendly old tiled homescreen and everything to do with that particular firmware. i'm using 3.16.0
