If this isn't your issue, then everything knc1 says holds true...more info.
I followed the instructions, so named the file correctly and put it in the right directory. The strange thing is that I don't have the autoreboot file in any of the folders that come with the installation. I only have an 'auto' file. I tried it on 2 different kindle paperwhites and it is the same for both. Next to renaming a readme file I also tried it with a new and empty txt file made with my Mac texteditor program. Off course I named it 'cover' removed the txt extension and put it in main linkss directory. I am on firmware 5.3.5
Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Robert
