Book Cover?
Long time Sony and Kobo owner here. I never really considered a kindle before but am now looking at the new touch. One question - does the kindle display the book cover while in sleep mode like the Sony & Kobo readers do?

Yep. I'm pretty much tired of the authors. I'd like to replace it with something, but I haven't decided what.

Picking up your reader with a cover of the book you're reading is really neat . . .

That is only on the older Kindles. The current generation Kindles contain beautiful, high-res photos of things relating to reading and writing. The Fire also has a few of the same in color in addition to a larger collection.

I really cannot understand why amazon decided to prohibit changing the images (without jailbreak), it would make the kindle a nicer device. cu andreas |
