Ahm, sorry if I sound destructive, but: How hard is it to click 
on "[Contents]", which is located in EVERY gray navigation bar on EVERY page?

It leads you to:

The only difference to before is that you now don't go to the start page, but 
to the Contents page. Same number of clicks, only the start page is less 
long ;-)
