Changing the screensaver on your Kindle is a simple process that doesn’t require jailbreaking the device. However, this feature is only available on certain Kindle variants such as Kindle from the 8th Gen onwards, Kindle Paperwhite from the 7th Gen onwards, Kindle Voyage, and Kindle Oasis. Additionally, you may need to upgrade to the Kindle ads-free version if you haven’t already. Once you’ve taken care of these prerequisites, follow these steps to customize your Kindle’s screensaver:
- On your Kindle’s home screen, tap the arrow down button at the top.
- Go to All Settings.
- Select Device Options.
- Turn on the toggle switch for Display Cover.
- Turn off your screen and then turn it back on.
The screensaver will now display the cover of the book or content you are currently reading or have just finished. The great thing about the Display Cover feature is that it automatically updates the screensaver whenever you start a new eBook, magazine, Manga, or comic, giving you the feeling of opening the cover of a physical book.
