On a standard Kindle, for example, you can buy a book and pop right over to the first page of the introduction. There is no procession through the cover, title page, and so on.

Kindle cases can be expensive, so making a homemade Kindle cover is the perfect weekend project. And chances are you already have the perfect book for your Kindle collecting dust on your bookshelf.

I'm dribbling with excitement: the Amazon Kindle lock screen now has the ability to display book covers. What a treat. What an absolute treat.
