Quite so, except that once you finish a book on the Kobo, the screen saver image becomes the most recently accessed book that you haven't completed. In the past, that's included "most recently added to reader."

That difference is one of many things I dislike about the Kindle when compared to the Kobo. Not only does the Kobo show the cover, but it does so in both sleep and power-off modes. The Kindle either shows me a pointless random image or a blank screen.
