I'm assuming you're referring to the
system directory? Whilst it is hidden from the Gallery app by default (although you can use the shell script below as a workaround) you can also view the directory with a 3rd party app added to your device (e.g. KOReader), or when connected to your PC by making hidden items visible in the folder explorer
(see Post 5 below).

There are 4 main wallpapers that show and they can be modified by placing BMP images in the directories:
bootlogo - Shows briefly as device powers on (from being completely powered off)
/mnt/ext1/system/logo/bootlogo/
then change setting:
Personalize > Logos > Boot Logo
offlogo - Shows when device is powered off.
/mnt/ext1/system/logo/offlogo/
then change setting:
Personalize > Logos > Power-off Logo
lowbatlogo - Shows when battery drops below 10%
/mnt/ext1/system/logo/lowbatlogo/PB632_low_pwr_screen_WW.bmp
(lowbatlogo dir does not exist by default, so create. Rename image file [model "PB632"] as required)
sleep logo - Shows when device sleeps, has transparent background. By default it's the cutesy ereader sleeping logo (when cover closed, single power button press, auto sleep etc)
/mnt/ext1/system/resource/line/taskmgr_lock_background.bmp
/mnt/ext1/system/resource/line/taskmgr_lock_background_landscape.bmp

Workaround to view system directory in gallery app...
You can't view the above directories through the built-in gallery app by default, BUT you can by launching it using a simple shell script saved in
/mnt/ext1/applications
After a restart the script will show in the "User's" area of the main apps menu.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
media=/ebrmain/cramfs/bin/mediaexplorer.app
offlogo=/mnt/ext1/system/logo
$media "$offlogo"
exit 0
(attached offlogo_list.zip to this post. Unzip the .app file to /mnt/ext1/applications)
To ensure images are the correct format/dimension etc, I usually place images I want to use as "offlogos" into the photo folder (BMP, PNG, JPG etc and any size/dimension), open them on the device via the built-in Gallery app, pinch-to-zoom and rotate as required to crop, then take a screenshot. Then just copy the image from the screens directory to offlogo directory.
I set a double press of the power-button to take a screenshot from the settings menu for ease.
Personalize > Key Mapping > Global
To randomly cycle through logo images with every power off... if you make the setting change:
Personalize > Logos > Power-off Logo
and set to
random, you'll get a different image from your collection (offlogo dir) with every power off... which is how I like it!
