The possibility to display the current book cover as sleep screen on the Kindle is known to be one of the top requests from kindle users (https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comm...requests_that/) , and it's the main reason (and probably often the only reason) why some people jailbreak them ...

I’d be very curious if that is correct. It may be a common request from Kindle users, but I doubt it is the main reason that users jailbreak theirs. Most people don’t stare at their sleeping device, so whatever is displayed on the sleepscreen is only visible for a split second as the device wakes up. So even with a clear cover, it just doesn’t matter what is one the sleep screen.
If you’re out in public using your Kindle, it’s going to be awake because you’re reading. If you’re not reading, are you just carrying the Kindle around? Do people really pay that much attention to what the person sitting next to them are reading or holding in their hand?
