How to Modify the Lock Screen on Your Kindle


The e-reader has significantly simplified the process of staying updated with your preferred books and magazines. Whether you’re relaxing in bed at night, commuting on a train, or enjoying the outdoors on a bright day, most Kindle variations provide sharp, clear text, user-friendly controls, and even some charming page-turning effects that trick your mind into believing you’re genuinely holding a book. However, were you aware that you can also customize the lock screen of your Kindle? This feature has garnered increasing attention in recent years, and it’s probably nestled within your Kindle’s settings.

This option is known as Display Cover, and we mentioned “probably” because this setting is available for four of the more well-known Kindle models: the standard Amazon Kindle (eighth generation and newer), Kindle Paperwhite (seventh generation and beyond), Kindle Oasis, and Kindle Voyage. Additionally, you must ensure that you’re using a “without ads” Kindle to utilize this feature.

So, what exactly does the Display Cover setting do once it’s turned on, and how can you activate it?
