    You forgot to mention that you have to go in to the device settings and set the display screen to show the cover of the book that you're currently reading. Mine was set to off by default but, once I figured that out it worked. I just have to select the image I want as if I'm "reading" it and then press the lock/off button.

    at some point, I'm going to have to just admit to myself that jailbreaking these things for features that should be standard like choosing my own damn lock screen shouldn't be needed and I'm just going to see if I can hook up a raspberry pi to an E-ink display to make my own reader (with blackjack and hookers)
    my 1st gen jailbroken paperwhite has art from kentaro muiras berserk and Akira and it's beautifully rendered, and I give up nothing having a carousel of some of the most detailed and beautiful illustrations put to paper, as petty as it sounds I don't want to have make a book to put these pictures in that I need to remember to tab over to if I want them to display, the software I already loaded gave me dark mode and opendyslexic years ahead of people with newer kindles

      check if your kindle has any pending updates.. this happend to me for a while where books wouldn't show the cover and just the name and author..so i'm assuming it may the same issue.. so if there are no updates showing, confirm by just googling the latest update for your specific device. and if they match, then good.
      i faced the issue where there was an update for my device but my kindle wasn't giving me the update option. tried contacting customer support who basically told me that they had stopped making updates to the kindle i had(yes my kindle is olllddd). they were no help and they basically lied to me. so did some basic google searches and found i could just download the update and send it via usb to my kindle. and it was all good.
      long story short, check for updates and update either via your kindle or by downloading the update to another device and sending it.

    Thanks for sharing. Just some feedback. This video was hard to follow because you left a lot of key details out as you were talking--such as the size of the canvas graphic, why you are using a black background, how to update you kindle settings to show book covers as screensavers, etc. On top of this, it was hard to follow along as you spoke fast and moved images off of the screen really fast--i rewinded and paused a lot. In the end I couldn't get it to work based on your video alone, I went to the comments and read through all the questions people asked you and some tips you didn't share. In the future I think just slowing down and really focusing on showing how to do what you are describing versus showing us you talking the whole time would be key. Also make sure that you are sharing every step as this is used as a tutorial not just simple watching.
