I don't think the affiliate has any affect on the home screen. Kobo is randomly choosing the new home screen for people as part of their testing.

I was under the impression that the only way to go back to the old home screen was to go back to an older firmware. Is there a patch that does the same thing? One of the posts made me question this.

* `Disable new home screen`

I've updated to this firmware a day or two ago, and have had no problems.

The brightness slider now works 1% by default (as it should have been), so the patch is not necessary any longer. It was the only patch I was using

They release faster than I can update. Impressive. I've had more firmware updates to the KA1 in 6 months than I've had to the KPW1 in 4,5 years.

Yes, I know... duplicate message. Until this thread stops being active, I might have to keep reposting.

Until this thread stops being active, you might just have to ignore it.

If people want to keep discussion 4.3.8871, let them. If people see the new thread but continue posting here, they have a reason, so leave them alone. And of course, posting once is good. Posting again so quickly, is rude.
