Description

Lets replace our simple text based Continue Reading item on the icon touch with our bootiful new widget.

No need to keep the complex "continue reading" logic of the current icon entry, just always show the widget with the most recent history item (or empty state) as we do on the Today screen.

I think the Top Read will be less compelling in this space (and also larger) but am not opposed to adding it to the icon as well.

Note that this was working in earlier builds.
