unfortunately, for the aura, this does not work. it seems the functionality is still here. when entering demo mode, a blank page is displayed and, as you mentioned, it returns to homescreen when tapped. but, sleeping it manually will still go to the normal screensaver, instead of the slideshow. i asume the slideshow folder is missing in the 2.9.0, but since i can'tget my hands on the fw, i can't say for sure. the screensaver may also appear because there is nothing in the slideshow folder, so it defaults to normal saver. could you please tell me if it enters slideshow upon manually sleeping it (with demo mode on) and if the screen is locked?

If you use the power slider to suspend it has its normal suspend image, whatever it is, but a timer is running and the demo loop will start up after the timer ends. It may be related to the sleep setting you have set, I put mine to 5 minuets, for this testing. (The timer seems to be a little more than a minute.) The IR for the AuraHD is still running as well as all the page turns, so
it is not a mode that is saving power.
I was able to put my own pictures in place of the Kobo ones. I just opened one in Gimp2 and made a template from it. Then I make a grayscale image and scale it to 1080x1440 and open a new file in Gimp and select the template. Then it is just a matter of dragging and dropping the image file onto the new template displayed.
