Tapping the arrow at the top of the screen from the Home and Library tabs will bring up a quick settings screen, with options to turn on dark mode, enable Airplane mode, sync the Kindle, and adjust brightness and warmth (if available). The rule of thumb for the Kindle is tapping at the top of any screen to get to the navigation options. Navigating a Kindle can be tricky, particularly since it doesn't feature onscreen buttons. For the most part, the Amazon Kindle takes you to the Library tab when you exit a book, so you can avoid the new Home section entirely if you prefer. Given that the Kindle interface can be painfully slow to navigate, it's best to discover new books on the Amazon app or website, or a platform like Goodreads. These include other titles by the same author you're currently reading, more books based on titles you've recently read, and personalized recommendations based on books and genres you like to read. There is a shortcut to the Library right on top, but everything else is just recommendations based on your reading habits.

Most users might not come to this screen unless they want to explore new titles.

The Home tab on the other hand is just a list of recommendations. You can also filter by type – choose between books, samples, documents, comics, and more. Tapping the filters button in the top-left corner will let you sort books by downloaded, read, or unread. There's also an option to view titles as a grid, list, or collections. The books are presented in a vertical scrolling list, but you can also tap the sorting button in the top-right corner (three stacked lines) to sort books by most recent, title, author, publication date, and more. So what's the difference between the two tabs? The Library tab is just what it says – it's the complete library of every e-book you've purchased or downloaded. The Kindle home screen has separate views for Home and Library.
