Having problems in cover mode reading a cover
I have a Kindle PW2 with serial number starting with B0D4. Amazon blessed me with Firmware version 5.6.1 a while back but I was able to recover my screensaver hack with the aid of KUAL. However, even though the "last" mode and customized screensaver mode works I am unable to get the covers mode to work.
When I get things configured I can see a message flashing on the screen "Starting cover watchdog" but when I open a new book for the first time I see flashed on my screen after about 10 seconds the message "SW failed to extract cover" This is consistent on every book that I attempt to open, including older books where the cover mode used to work before the last Amazon firmware upgrade.
Assuming that I have properly formatted ebooks on my Kindle, what would trigger this error? I have tried downloading books directly from my Amazon Kindle account to the device and also after passing books through Calibre so I am pretty confident that I do not have any corrupted books. Would there be some component of the Python library that might be at fault? I have done refreshed installs of the latest Python and screensaver modules via KUAL but am now stumped.
