You’ll be able to turn on or off the new feature in the Kindle’s settings menu, where you will find a “Show Cover” toggle for the new setting. This seems like a fun, cool feature but it also makes one wonder why hasn’t it always been available? Lastly, do you really want everyone to know what trashy novel you’re currently reading? I don’t think anyone cares that I’m currently reading Voltaire’s Philosophical Dictionary and would probably think I am being a pretentious show-off. Then again, nobody ever needs to see that I am reading the very saucy The Lover by Marguerite Duras. So there you have it, turn the feature on at your own risk but if you do, pick a title that will garner the least judgment, like a puppy calendar or a cookbook.
