I recently downloaded a lot of books to my Kindle Paperwhite, unfortunately, it did a software update at the same time. After that I suddenly had a three book Kindle, because that's all I could get to of my reading list.
Usually, when you hit the home icon it will show the first three books of your reading list, and then you can swipe to go through the rest of your books. Now whenever I swiped I was taken to a series of screens telling me how to use my Kindle and how wonderful it was. There seemed to be no escape from these screens, except to hit the home icon again.
After many trips around the Kindle menus I finally solved the problem.
Just in case anybody here runs into the same problem the solution is: home, settings, all settings, device options, advanced options, home & library, and then turn home screen view off.
I had never touched this setting before, and my other Kindle that was off, and didn't receive the update still worked properly.
Attention! All Kindle software design idiots! The first rule of software updates is to not break your users system with one.
IDIOT, n. A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot's activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole." He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and
opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.
