Adding your own pictures to the Kindle Screensaver
Here’s a hack to add your own pictures to the Kindle to be used as the screensaver images that get rotated thru.
Adding Pictures to the Kindle Screensaver
- Connect to your Kindle via USB.
- Create a folder named ‘pictures’
- Within that new folder, create another folder name ‘My Pictures’
- Copy any number of pictures you want into the new ‘My Pictures’ folder. 600×800 is the size of the screen display.
- On the Kindle, go to the Home Screen
- Press ALT+Z
- There should now be a ‘book’ named ‘My Pictures’ displayed.
- Open the ‘book’ to start the picture viewer.
- Cycle thru all of the pictures pressing F (to make them full screen), then ALT+shift+0 (the number zero) to select each one for the screensaver.

I don’t think this picture trick works on the new International Kindle 2. I just tried “Alt Z” after loading pics on the device, but nothing happens (from the home screen).
