I already have that for many books. The reason is the paperback the cover comes from isn't in the in a 4:3 ratio. I prefer to see the cover not distorted in any way. But, there is in the latest firmware an option in "Sleep & Power" to set the cover as "Full screen". This stretches the cover over the whole screen when sleeping.
