Carousel on Kobo Touch?
Is there a carousel on the kobo touch 2013?
Don't like the homescreen on it compared to the older Kobo When I switched it on it always showed my books But now there is a Google toolbar recommended books etc Is there no way for it to just show my books, carousel or not when I switch it on, the same as before? |

Sounds like you need to look at the firmware thread in the Developers Section and download the right one to fit your needs. Make sure you get the correct one for your device and follow the directions to a T.

You can also get rid of particular tiles by doing a long press on the tile and select "Dismiss" from the menu displayed. There is one tile that can't be dismissed this way. It is the "Sync" tile. You can get rid of this tile, and prevent most of the others from showing using my Kob Utilities plugin and calibre. If you want to go back to the old home screen and the carousel, then, as TechniSol's suggested, you will need to go back to an older firmware. For the Touch, 2.8.1 is probably the one to use. |

But it just replaces other books on the same tiles over and over again. Since there are books on it that I have opened and just read the first page but decided to read them later. It is suggesting them all!! |

There are some tiles that appear in response to other things. If you read a kepub purchased from Kobo, then a "Related items" tile with be added with suggestions based on that book. And the "Recommended" tile will appear after a sync. All tiles except the first book tile and the Sync tile can be dismissed. And as I mentioned, my Kobo Utilities plugin can prevent most of the tiles from appearing. |

I'm confused. How do you expect the device to determine if its a book you have read just a few pages of and mean to read later, as opposed to one you have read a few pages of and will keep reading later?

While on home screen long press on, any book cover or recommended books, displays menu box with Open and Dismiss tile choses. Use this to dismiss unwanted books on home screen. Otherwise home screen shows books you have recently opened or books recently added to reader. Only tile on home screen I can't dismiss is last sync.
