It's just a quirk, another quirk that makes this so fascinating/frustrating to play with.  |
I tried an experiment a few minutes ago:
1) I sideloaded a couple of epubs over to the main memory of the reader, started one, then powered off the Glo. The cover showed up perfectly (I thought maybe it had before because I was using a kpub).
2) Next I opened my current read, which is on the sd card, powered off. That showed up, but a fuzzy image (the kind I get as a screen saver if I don't go to the main screen and put it to sleep at least once during the reading of the book).
3) I then opened up a nonfiction book I read at when I want a change of pace, again stored on the SD card, powered off. Generic cover showed up.
4) Then I went back to the previous book, my current read stored on micro SD card which had rendered fuzzily on the powered off screen, powered off. Generic cover showed up.
All that leads me to think that while it's SUPPOSED to render covers in powered off mode, and will if it's on the internal memory, it struggles when it's on the Sd card. As I said before, it doesn't *really* matter that it's not working that way, I rarely power off, I do get irked, though, when things don't do what they're supposed to do. Yes, I spend my life irked.
Now I'm getting out of the lab and into the sunshine. It's been a long hard winter in Canada.
