If you know what you are going to read, it wouldn't be much effort to just select it so that it's pretty cover shows up.

I'll have to go search out the Kindle Forum to find out how to jailbreak and change it so that it shows the cover of the current reading item.

As to the kindle battery, yes indeed, this is true of most of our gadgets, not just kindles. Same thing goes for Ipods. If you aren't using it any more, best to sell it while the battery is still good because sitting in the drawer will just kill it. I'm betting most ereaders and tablets run the same sort of battery and need to be used regularly or they go bad.

Anyway, sticking to topic a little here, how many of you are reading new-to-you authors this year? I found myself in a rut last year and didn't read many new authors, while this year, the majority of what I'm reading are series by authors I had not previously read.

Finally, I love to hear why people like their current ereader. I'm regularly asked about ereaders and it helps to know what people like about say their Aura since I don't have one of those. Since I know our library lets you download to an Aura, I can then tell them the differences so that they can make a choice better suited for them. Sony, of course, is out of the running now.
