One reason to spend the $20 is to obviate the need to swipe up after opening the cover. But at most it is only something you’d see for a few seconds as the Kindle wakes up (much less if it had been recently awake).

I’ve stopped getting covers for Kindles, so it’s a little bit nice.

Imagine my horror when I side-loaded a book from Gutenberg.org, opened it, turned off my Kindle, and (gasp!) am shown the regular screen saver images instead of a cover image (which it does not have)! This feature is useless!
