My UI language is in Italian, but it should be understandable enough

1) Home layout can't be changed (afaik). You basically have the top row with the books you are reading, then a section under that links to your books (on the left), and to the last collection/series/author you opened (on the right).
Below that you have two links to the Kobo shop page and the other does change showing different Kobo services (once it linked to something else, but I can't remember, tbh lol)

The footer has quick access to your library, your services over wifi (Shop, Overdrive, Dropbox if it's supported for your device/country), the menu (Altro) to access the configuration for the device, and finally NickelMenu is not something out-of-the-box, but it's a very nice tool you can install and that allows you to access to functionality not available by default on your device (Dropbox for Libra, for example), or to enable in a more quick way functionalities that are available but that requires multiple taps or to play around with the config file (screenshots, custom screensavers if you don't want to display the cover of the book you are reading and so on)


That's all for library management, I think (as you can see, I use as subtitles the # of pages that the Count Page plugin gives me)

And yes, collections can be whatever you want (one or more calibre columns, regular or custom ones), and you can change them whenever you want because the driver has a nice option to delete empty collections
The only limitation I'm aware of is that if you want to use wifi and sync if you have a lot of collections (70+), the sync process can get struck.
