Kindle Screensavers: Book Covers, Custom Images and Limits

A downloaded PNG does not become a Kindle lock screen on its own. Stock firmware can show the cover of the book you are reading, while custom sleep images require KOReader and live widgets run in the browser.

Check the software on your Kindle first

This guide does not cover jailbreaking or installing KOReader; KOReader must already be running on the device. A browser dashboard runs only while the Kindle stays awake and does not replace the lock screen.

Choose the path for your Kindle

  • Stock Kindle: show the current book cover

    On ad-free supported models, turn on Show Covers on Lock Screen in Kindle Settings to display the cover of the book you are reading.

  • Installed KOReader: set a sleep image or folder

    Export an image at your Kindle model’s pixel size and copy it to the reader over USB. Then follow the KOReader guide below to pick a single file or a random folder. These settings apply only inside KOReader.

  • Kindle browser: show live weather and tasks while awake

    Create an EinkDashboard and open its private link in the Kindle browser. How long the page stays on screen depends on your model, firmware and sleep behavior; it is a live web page, not a screensaver file.

Why a downloaded PNG is not enough on stock Kindle

Removing lock-screen ads unlocks the book-cover toggle, not an arbitrary image picker. Sideloaded books only show a cover when the book file carries valid cover metadata. Custom lock-screen hacks on stock firmware are a separate path with strict model and firmware limits.

Export at the pixel size of your screen

Choose your exact model in the editor to reduce stretching or empty borders. Matching the resolution does not unlock custom lock screens in the device firmware.
