I've calmed down a tiny bit after being extremely angry and disappointed about the new home screen (especially its ridiculous navigation). I don't dislike the new bottom bar as much any more, even though it is absolutely useless to me. (As stated many times above, I too prefer to have just one carousel. Two of them just makes clutter.) I am still overly frustrated however by the fact that all navigation has to go via the Home menu, instead of having everything ready for you to tap on right there on the home screen. I will be downgrading to 1.9.14 and not upgrading until at least settings, library, reading life and store are back on the home screen like they were in 1.9.14. |

So, to sum up, it seems people that are not interested at all in buying books, that do not go through the Kobo web site even for freebies, and that only sideload epubs, this development should be a non-event. |

This not being a new thing just further guarantees that Kobo shall never get another penny (or any other amount) from me in the future. |

JD; CALM DOWN...
Lets give Kobo staff a chance to investigate and explain. I've tried ALL I can and I get NO sign of ANY Google-Analytics cookes on my Touch! Have ANY of you tried the simple approach of editing that ****** file and removing the values? |

After installing this update my Kobo Touch isn't usable any more. When it restarted for the first time it stopped at: Updating Contents - Please wait a moment - 58% (translated from German: "Inhalt wird verarbeitet - Einen Moment bitte -58%").
This "moment" takes more than 12 hours now. I have removed the SD-card, tried to reset the Kobo, tried the on/off switch a hundred times. No reset. No On/Off works. The PC doesn't recognize any device, when I connect the Kobo. It's DEAD. The Kobo is like a flat brick now. Any idea anyone? |

OK I'm ok with 19.16 now. As Robko and others have pointed out, when you change the bottom bar to "Shortlist", pressing "Show all" brings up the shortlist in one tap, so is actually quicker to get to the shortlist than from 1.9.14.
The bar does make the homepage messy, what with 5 items of my shortlist shown above and below, but I can live with it. My kobo doesn't run particularly faster or look particularly better with fonts, but I wasn't unhappy with the speed or the fonts in 1.9.14 anyway. The only thing I want really that isn't there is custom folder lists accessible like the library and shortlist. |
