Where are covers stored?
Hi there, I have a kindle paperwhite 2 and was wondering where the covers are stored? I can't find the system folder even with hidden folders on.

Cheers!
David

Assuming you have installed jailbreak and the screen saver hack and have enabled cover mode, you will find your cover images in the linkss/cover_cache directory.

I am able to see the system folder without jailbreak. But you do need to get around the hidden folder thing. Once you do, this thread may help: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...74#post2997274

I believe Windows will by default hide folders called "system" in the root of a drive. You can view it anyway by enabling hidden/system folders from the Explorer settings -- or simply type the folder name into the urlbar.
