How do I get new kindle to show my Library Not a link to it on my Home page

This probably seems petty but I hate my new kindle because...

My old kindle Home Page has a list of all my books on no other nonsense.

My new kindle's Home page has a only link to my library & a load of utterly useless rubbish like
- quotes from a university
- "see your way home"
- "what's your type"
- A link to the kindle store (which I will never use) I buy & browse on my PC only. Then use Calibre to disinfect my books.

Please help I don't want two clicks to get to my books this feels like a downgrade. I've spent two hours googling this & searching through my settings

Hi thanks so much for answering appreciated. I was just about to post an update

I'd already looked for that but no advanced options were available. After finding a reddit post with the same problem it seems Amazon purposely remove this feature if you don't register the device or if you deregister.

My old paperwhite had it because it was registered then I unregistered it. Which removed "advanced options but kept my settings.

So my only solution was to register this one, an Oasis. Set up the homepage & quickly turn off wifi before they downloaded stuff. Then I deregistered it from my amazon account.

Fixed now thanks again hopefully this might help someone else who doesn't like Amazon's big brother attitude
