For many users, being able to read a book on paper is still the ideal option, although much of its justification is more conditioned by that romantic point about what it means to touch and even smell a book. However, it cannot be denied that the e-book reader is the best option. And now much more since the Amazon Kindle stop envying the covers of physical books .
The covers arrive to the Amazon Kindle
If you are an inveterate reader and a lover of books in general, you will agree with us that one of the aspects that most like them in their paper version are their covers. It is something a bit simple, it is true, and it really does not affect anything that really has value which is what your pages tell. But, even so, the attraction they generate is there and can even make you end up buying them compulsively.
Well, although it may seem strange, it is now that the Amazon Kindle will receive a feature that you surely think should have been around for years. We refer to being able to view the covers of the books themselves. But among all the tips and tricks to get the most out of the Kindle, the only way to use covers was through modifications of the original software. The problem was that doing so involved taking the risk that something would happen and the device’s warranty would be invalidated.
Fortunately for all those who, along with the content, also feel a great attraction for the covers of their books comes Display Cover. This new option that can be activated in the settings of some specific Kindle models will allow you to show the cover of the book you are reading when the device is locked.
In this way, the feeling of being with a traditional book increased thanks to that simple detail. In addition, beyond how attractive it may be because they will be shown in black and white because there is no Kindle with a color screen yet, it will also be interesting if you are one of those who like the rest of the people around you. know what you are reading.
Although there are still times when it is better not to do it, because that light reading that you have decided to do on some subway trips may break with the intellectual idea that those who see you daily with your Kindle have of you.
Now seriously, in addition to the satisfaction that it can give to see the cover that, perhaps, made you interested in the book, a utility of them now in the Kindle could be to encourage you to resume reading when you see it.
