Amazon finally allows book covers to be displayed on the lock screen →

After years of having this simple feature requested, Amazon has finally relented: You can now choose to show the cover of the book you’re currently reading on the lock screen of your Kindle while it’s asleep.
This feature is available for most recent Kindle models:
- Kindle (8th, 10th Gen)
- Kindle Paperwhite (7th, 10th Gen)
- Kindle Voyage (7th Gen)
- Kindle Oasis (8th, 9th, 10th Gen)
You’ll need to be on the latest software update, have ads disabled (either from initial purchase or subsequently), and enable it in the Device Options section of the settings:
