Paperwhite - Disble lockscreen/screensaver
Hello,
when I close the cover of my kindle the screen turns of automaticially. When I open it again the screensaver appears. Since I have the cover for that functionality, is it possible to disable the screensaver completely? Best regards Daniel |

But why? The e-ink display is a "meta-stable" device, it uses no power to display and a static display causes no permanent harm. Any ghosting will be cleared by a few cycles between black and white. Alright, since I didn't convince you . . . . Remove or rename or move the screensaver image(s) - If the system can't find a file to display, it displays all white. Note: Keep track of what you do, since you will probably have to un-do it to get the device to update (when that time comes). |

I am sorry, it seems I did not make myself clear. I have no problem with the screensaver picture itself.
What I want: I read. I close the Kindle. The Kindle turns off the screen. I open the Kindle. The Kindle returns to where I was when I closed it. So I don't want to swipe the screen to get back to where I was before. |

Note: I do not use the "lock screen" - so disable that. Directions should be in the User's Manual (I don't know, since I never enabled mine). |

You had not mentioned it was a SO Kindle - Contact Amazon customer service, get the SO (special offers) removed, then disable the lock screen. |
