Amazon also provides a discount if you allow them to show special offers and advertisements as screensavers. If you opted for a Kindle without the special offer discount, you can switch from the default screensavers to instead display the cover of a book. This feature is only available on the ads-free versions of 8th-generation and later Kindles, 7th-generation and later Kindle Paperwhites, Kindle Oasis, and Kindle Voyage.

The only option you have to change the Kindle's screensaver is setting the book cover, even if you remove the "Special Offers." You may have more options by jailbreaking your device, but that process voids your warranty. How do I stop a book from showing as a Kindle screensaver? Reverse the above steps to prevent the book you're reading from showing up on the lock screen.
