Nobody uses front pages for content discovery because the front pages rarely present the right interface or content for that. Maybe that can change... I think that merely serving current/new users in this way is selling your content short. It's the written equivalent of a news channel, instead of being the evolution of the book. I'm hoping we can do better.

"I think that merely serving current/new users in this way is selling your content short." I'm not convinced that's true. The big limitation of the frontpage is that there's no way to remind people to return to it. Without that you'll only get current/new users. I totally agree we need a solution for content discovery. Like many others I took my stab at building one (http://readwarp.com http://readwarp.com) I'm just not convinced that the frontpage is the place for it.
