My only issue with my Kindle paperwhite (10th edition) is that the User Interface (UI) is a bit slow. I used to like it on older firmware where you didn't have to have pictures of books showing in the library. Just a simple list of books in text. Now the library is all a bit 'busy' and I yearn for something cleaner.

I don't want to put old firmware on it as I am sure there are other security fixes and things in there. But I do wish I could turn off all the pictures of the books and just see the text. And I think the pictures slows it down a little bit (I only have 4 or 5 books on it at a time)

I wonder if the 11th edition has a faster processor which would make it quicke? But wouldn't solve the cluttered UI issue

Are Kobos the same in terms of having pictures of books everywhere?
