To replace the fnac logo by the current book cover when the screen is off (the expected behaviour), you first have to blug your Kobo on your computer.
Then go in the folder .kobo
in the root directory of your device (this is an hidden file on UNIX systems).
Inside this directory edit the file affiliate.conf
with your favorite note editor:
vim /mount_point/KOBOeReader/.kobo/affiliate.conf
and replace the following line:
affiliate=fnac
by
affiliate=Kobo
Save the file and unplug the device.
You will now have the current book cover displayed when the kobo screen is off !
