I guess this is mostly useful for newbies, but I just want to put in a 'plug' for using the 'HISTORY' feature, with a couple of useful points I discovered over time:

* It's a good way to see your favourite books, but also useful because often we are just reading the same books for quite a while

* You see a nice bunch of large covers, even bigger than the standard Kobo interface
NOTE: I wish Folder Shorcut and Favourite were like this too. Not just a text list.

Some things you might not know yet:
* You can set Koreader to Start with HISTORY (and other modules too)
* You can delete stuff from the history

All of this makes it a good proxy for what in the Kobo standard view might be:
- your top 'shelf', with all your favourite or 'read now' books
AND
- the 'Recent' view (though for me this standard-kobo-view feature doesn't even seem to be working recently. It's NOT showing the most recent books I opened OR added as it used to. That's a shame because I found that very useful)
