Let me illustrate with a picture.
Attached is the illustration of how the fresh device with a couple of uploaded books looked for me.
The 2 dynamic fields in the 2nd row contained "Top 50" books and "Recommedned".
They were subsequently replaced with my books (which is a weird decision IMO, when it simply acts like a shortcut to "my books", for which there is already a shortcut) and a bookshelf.

That was not a jab at Kobo's recommendations, but recommendations in general. I actively used goodreads for some time and netflix/youtube/spotify and what not and almost never the recommendation were particularly good, so I try to remove them whenever possible.
In this particular case, even more so, since I have no intention to use Kobo's marketplace (at least as the main book buying platform).

Thanks, that looks like something I'd want.

Partially.
* You can't remove it -> persistent
* I guess you could argue that any button is "interactive", but in the end it's just that: a very big glorified button. There is no interactivity with the element besides pressing it.
* It starts as dedicated space for promotional material. I do agree that it gets removed later in the life of the device, though.
