I have this working, sort-of. On my Energy Systems T62+, the screensaver changes on the second standby after changing the file. It is acting as if pushing the power button to exit standby is what causes the refresh of the screensaver. In other words:
  1. Assume I read book A and the screensaver shows the cover for book A.
  2. I read book B.
  3. I push the power button to enter standby, I see the cover for book A.
  4. I push the power button to come out of standby.
  5. I again tap the power button to enter standby. This time and all future times I see the cover for book B. Rarely I see the default screen saver and must enter and exit standby to see cover for book B.
Is this behavior what you see with CoolReader? In any event, I can't find a way to prevent it.

I have made it work on my Afterglow 2. I had to root the device and do some strange incantations to make the default screensaver in /system/media writable (I created a symlink). I didn't try creating the ScreenSaver directory.

The save cover feature will be in the Other settings section in the next beta, probably released today. You can save the cover anywhere you wish, as long as the destination is writable.
