Would you want a Simple mode that hides parts of the app?
What we decided
Thanks everyone, your replies shaped this. Simple mode is built: a switch in Settings, under Appearance. Turn it on and the book page drops the extras: the Next tab, and Info sections like characters, FAQs, awards and contributors, plus some of the My Book details. You can also hide the Community tab, community notifications, the badge and quiz cards, and the Series, Authors and Lists tabs in your Library. Each part can be brought back one at a time, and nothing is deleted. Home switches to a short layout with your current book, today's reading and what's next. If you only want to track your reading, one "Tracking only" button hides everything social and makes your profile private. We also simplified the Info page for everyone, whatever this setting is. Characters, awards, FAQs and the like now sit in closed rows with a one-line hint of what's inside, so you open only what you want and don't hit spoilers by accident. The page is about a third shorter. This starts rolling out soon.

We're considering a Simple mode. You'd switch it on in Settings, and the book page would show less: no Next tab, no Community tab, no FAQs, and no edit button on Info. Your home screen would switch to a short layout too. Nothing is removed for anyone else, and you could turn each part back on one at a time. Vote if you'd use it. Tell us in a reply which parts you'd hide, and what else feels like too much.
