PocketyBook KOReader Sleep/Power Off/Power ON Screen

apastuszak · 10-01-2026, 10:34 PM

I really like the way you can set the sleep screen on a Kindle or Kobo device in KOReader, and really wanted to do this with my PocketBook Era Lite.

My coding skills begin and end with writing Python and Bash scripts for work. A lua hacker I am not.

But I have a Claude subscription. So, I spent the afternoon making some AI slop for KOReader on the PocketBook that lets you set the sleep screen, the power-on screen and the powered-off screen all from within KOReader. No need to go out the PocketBook OS to set this, and it will dynamically change based on which book you're reading.

Here is the plugin in action:

You need to disable to Cover Image plugin to use this.

I only have and Era Lite to test on. I asked Claude to make it work on any PocketBook device. I'd like people to test it on other models and tell me if it works.

Again, this is something I vibe-coded. It works for me and adds a feature I wanted.

I installed this on my Verse Pro Color. It works really well and is a really cool idea. However, for me having a color device the book covers are B&W and the primary reason I decided to try out a color device was for the color book covers.

In hindsight I wish I would have got the B&W Verse Pro but since I have the color I'm going to stick with the color covers.

I might upgrade to the Verta when it comes out but the UI lag on mine is really bad so if the software isn't better on the Verta I might switch to a different brand.

Anyway, I would definitely recommend this plugin if you have a B&W device.
