The Home screen

Home is the first tab at the bottom and your quick way back into what you're reading.

What's on Home

In the standard style (Classic) you'll see:

• Continue reading (or Keep listening for an audiobook): the book you're in the middle of, one tap away.
• Your shelf, with Books, Comics and Magazines tabs.
• Recently added.
• On other devices: books you've read on another device that aren't on this one. Long-press one to Open it or Remove from «On other devices»; it comes back if you read it again on another device. Removed ones are counted in the row's header ("2 hidden"), and from there you can Show them again.
• If you read comics, Next issue for each series you've started.

The refresh button brings in your books, what you've read on other devices and what's new in your libraries.

Home and Library aren't the same

• Home shows the books in your whole account, whether or not they're on this device. That way you can carry on with what you started somewhere else.
• Library shows the books in the library you've chosen: the files on this device, or one of your clouds or servers.

That's why it's normal for Home to show a book that isn't in this device's Library tab.

Change the Home style

Go to Settings → Appearance → Home screen and pick:

• Classic: shelves and continue reading, as always.
• Focus: all about the book you're reading: your pace, the series, the author and who else is reading it.
• Editorial: magazine feel, big type and your social life at hand.
• Your places: all your libraries at a glance and what's new in each one.
• The Supplement: a weekly books magazine, made from what you read.
• Your way: choose your tiles and put them wherever you like. Long-press a tile to edit.

Pro plan: choosing any home screen other than Classic is a Pro perk.

On an ereader

With E-ink mode on (Settings → Appearance → E-ink mode), Home switches to a layout made for e-ink: no carousels, the book you're reading at the top and a grid with all your books. See e-ink mode.

Common questions

Home shows a book I don't have on this phone. You've read it on another device. You can download it if it's in one of your libraries, or hide it with Remove from «On other devices».

Is the style saved to my account? No, each device remembers its own.
