Seems that cheesy romance novels are a huge sleeper hit for publishers, and the thinking is that people want to read them, but don't want to be seen reading them.
Speaking for my Sony 505, the screen blanks when you put it into standby anyway.

As for the cheesy romance novels, they're not exactly a sleeper - they've been at 50%+ of all mass market fiction sales for years if not decades.
