Kindle still not displaying cover art

I'm reading 11/22/63 and I paused.  Why is my Kindle showing Jules Verne instead of the cover of 11/22/63?  I paid more to get the adfree kindle, why not give me a nice adfree feature of seeing the cover of the book I'm reading?  (not asking for a full dashboard with weather, though that would be a nice option, keyword option, you could turn it off)

Sharing not supported

was enjoying Stephen King's new book (11/22/1963) and I wanted to share a quote, maybe get some discussion going, when I was met with that horrible sign "Sharing not supported".  This is why the Kindle fails.  I want a bold new world of reading.  The technology is there.  But amazon, the company from whom I bought all my books now stands in the way as gatekeeper?  Why?

you're not protecting anything.  You're losing everything.
