We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. So, you're tired of seeing rotating or Amazon's preloaded graphics on your Kindle every time you put it to sleep. That's understandable, especially if you're voracious reader who's been spending a lot of time on your ereader. In this piece, we're going to walk you through how to change your Kindle sleep screen and even how to personalize it if you want. How to remove Kindle Special Offers Kindles with Special Offers or lockscreen typically cost $20 less than the versions without them. These devices will show you a rotation of for books, for more Kindle devices or for Kindle Unlimited whenever you put your Kindle to sleep. As long as your device is ad-supported, you cannot customize your screensaver, so your first step is removing Special Offers from your ereader, which will understandably cost you some money. If your Kindle doesn't have lockscreen, you can skip this step. But if it does, you can follow these instructions 1. On desktop, go to the Amazon website, log in and click the hamburger menu on the left side of the screen. Under Digital Content & Devices, go to Kindle E-readers & Books. On the next screen, click on Manage Content and Devices under Apps & Resources. On the new page that loads, click on Devices near the top of screen.
If you have more than one Kindle attached to your account, click the box marked Kindle under Amazon Devices and then choose the ereader you want. In the Special Offers box at the bottom, you'll find a button to remove offers for $20. Again, you'll have to pay for it, because Amazon says the original $20 discount you got was in exchange for getting. Screenshot by Mariella Moon (Amazon) 2. On mobile, fire up the Amazon app. Go to the "Alexa for Shopping" tab on the bottom right corner of your screen. Type in "I want to end Special Offers on my Kindle." Alexa will link you to the Manage Devices page. From there, choose a Kindle and scroll down to end Special Offers for $20. NOTE: If you're not in the US but somehow have a US-version Kindle, you might have issues removing lockscreen. Amazon will ask you to add a US address and a card with US billing to be able to pay $20 for their removal. Without both, it won't be possible to proceed to the next step. You can try talking to customer service and asking kindly if they can disable special offers for you at no cost, but there's no guarantee that that will work. How to display book covers as your Kindle screensaver Once you're done getting lockscreen removed, or if you never had them in the first place, you'll get a rotation of Amazon-provided illustrations as your screensaver.
