Book Covers can be Displayed on Kindle Lock Screen

Finally, Amazon introduces the display cover feature which allows you to display the cover of the book you're currently reading on the lock screen on your Kindle device. Covers of most books, magazines, comics and Manga are supported. But you need to meet these two requirements if you want to experience this new feature:

1. The display cover feature is only supported on ad-free version Kindle devices. 

BTW, you can follow one of the steps below to remove ads from your device. And it requires a one-time payment of $20. Option 1: self-service through Manage your Content and Devices. Option 2: by contacting Customer Service.

2. The display cover feature work with select Kindle devices running the latest firmware (version 5.13.5), including Kindle (8th, 10th Gen), Kindle Paperwhite (7th, 10th Gen), Kindle Oasis (8th, 9th, 10th Gen), and Kindle Voyage (7th Gen). 

Tips: you can identify the generation of your Kindle device here.

People have been asking for the display cover feature on the Kindle lock screen for over a decade. It is one of the most requested features, which was previously only available after jailbreaking your device. That's also the main reason that some geeks jailbreak their Kindle for this feature. 

If you have an ad-free version of the Kindle device that supports the display cover feature, you can activate the feature by going to Settings > Device Options > Show Cover.

Bonus tips: you can follow this guide to read any Google Play/Nook/Kobo books on Kindle with no restraints.
