For some time now I’ve been in possession of the Sony PRS-T1 e-reader. E-readers are great devices and I find it much easier to read from an e-ink screen compared to a regular tablet screen.

However, there’s one thing which is really annoying specific to this Sony PRS-T1. It’s the home screen. Lucky for me the hardware runs on a modified Android OS, so there have been a lot of people modifying the looks and feels of the device. There’s a nice read of hacks and tweaks which can be found on this page.

One of the tweaks which can be found over there is changing the behavior of the ‘Recently Added’ pane on the home screen. If you read a couple of books at the same time, it’s better to see the ‘Recently Viewed’ books on the home screen. That way it’s possible to quickly navigate to the books you are reading.

To change this behavior you need to access one of the databases on the device and create a new trigger in it.

The databases on the device are (similar?)https://Lite](https://www.sqlite.org/) databases, therefore you can connect to them using the SQLite Administrator. After having installed this tool you can just open the books database on the device:
