Sony had the ability to choose your own sleep mode photo since the PRS-X50 models from 2010 until their consumer ebook readers were discontinued. In fact you could choose a number of photos and each time the reader entered sleep mode it would show one of the selected group of photos. A very nice feature.
I don't quite understand this either. I understand subsidizing their eReaders with ads (and not having the a Sleep Screen choice in that case) but if you have paid the ransom and freed your screen, it seems like you should be able to load your own Sleep Screen images. On my main Kindle Keyboard I've chosen the ads over the Kindle images because the portraits of authors Amazon chose are so danged ugly.
