Redesign home screen (#166)

## Summary

* Redesigned home screen with big option to continue reading and
slightly nicer options to navigate to core sections
* Attempt to use the cached EPUB details (title, author) if they exist,
otherwise fall back to file name
* Adjusted button hints on home screen, removed Back option and changed
left/right to up/down

## Additional Context

* Core of this work comes from @ChandhokTannay in
