Suppress link on home screen?
The lower right link on the home screen is sometimes blank, but usually leads to something like the last collection opened or the result of the last search. (I've outlined the one I mean in red on the image attached - in this case, it'd take me to my Read collection.)
Is there a way of suppressing it altogether (e.g., a patch)? I don't find it useful, and would prefer to have that area of the screen always blank. (Ideally, I'd like to lose the Home screen altogether, and have My Books/Collections as a default screen, but I can't see this becoming an option. Having said that, it used to be possible to set Kindles up like this in the dim and distant past.) |

You can disable the home screen by enabling the sideloaded mode (enter SideloadedMode=true in the configuration file, under "ApplicationPreferences").
Note you'll lose the ability to direct download from your Kobo account. |

All the Kobos I know here are SideloadedMode=true and the My Books is a far more useful and flexible homescreen. [* Any device with a browser, file manager and ability to host ereader Mass Storage via USB. Even done it on Android 4.x and micro-USB to USB-A OTG adaptor. Browsing on eink is poor] |
