On the other hand adding such notification in every place where book could be launched (both in Home and in Content Manager) although certainly possible will cause multiple overlapping operations which are quite expensive...

From what I now there are 2 major FB2 readers on Android - both are free and easily modifiable. My code (in case of success) would be freely available from sourceforge, and the changes are quite simple. So I really see no reason not to hope that it can be done "the right way"
I agree that the screensaver shouldn't be regenerated unnecessarily every time a book is launched; but what if the screensaver itself is updated to regenerate on startup when the book it was generated from last is not the latest read one? A slight delay shouldn't be a problem when the unit is going into standby, should it?

Great, thanks, I'll take a look when I've straightened this pesky app launcher out
