That is interesting. Perhaps the Kindle refreshes the images after a restart or perhaps it just retries downloading those images that failed previously.

I don't think so. The thumbnail images are too small to be used for that purpose. The code that I looked at for cover-as-screen-saver extracted the full size cover image from the book itself.
