Currently the kindle needs to be "restarted" for it to see any new images in the sceensavers folder. which would be a pain.

what we'd need is a way for it to "see" a new image without restarting the device.

I'm wondering if a symlink could be used:
Create a symlink to a blank image from an empty default location (i.e. "00_image_600.jpg") to an image in the "Linkss" folder.
Then the book image is copied and renamed to "00_image_600.jpg" and placed in the "linkss" folder. A script could be written to copy and rename the image from the book to the linkss folder when a book is opened.

If it's the only image in that folder, would the kindle read this new image or the previous one?
