The Home Tapestry on your Kobo Arc includes the navigation options you’ll use the most: the All Apps, Back, Home and Recent Apps icons. Your Home Tapestry also includes several information icons that you’ll find useful; the Downloads, Wi Fi, and Battery icons. Once you've opened the Kobo app, you'll find a number of other icons that help you navigate your Library and make the reading experience more comfortable.
