Which firmware? You mention NickelMenu, which says you have to be using a 4.x firmware from within the last couple of years. And that confuses me. The current home page hold up to 4 open books. And they are in the order of most recently opened. Finish one of those books and they get shifted up. The next most recently opened and still being read will take the fourth position.

But, you are using a Mini. For that, the last supported firmware is 3.19. That used the tiled home screen. That had one tile for the current book, and the rest of the tiles were for recent activities. You can dismiss tiles for any of the activities and the next most recent will appear. If you dismissed everything except for open books you will only have opened books. I don't know how many would fit on the Mini, but it would be at least eight.

But, you don't really need to do that. The book list can show you what you want. Go into the My Book, then, under "Filters" select "Unread""Reading" and under "Sort" select "Recent". That will show all books you have opened in the order that they were last opened in. That list can be as long as you want. After doing this, when you open My Books from the home screen, it will open with this filter and sort and show you the first book on the list.
