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

1. Connect to your Kindle via USB.
2. Create a folder named ‘pictures’
3. Within that new folder, create another folder name ‘My Pictures’
4. Copy any number of pictures you want into the new ‘My Pictures’ folder. 600×800 is the size of the screen display.
5. On the Kindle, go to the Home Screen
6. Press ALT+Z
7. There should now be a ‘book’ named ‘My Pictures’ displayed.
8. Open the ‘book’ to start the picture viewer.
9. 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.

Mobi2mobi can handle Kindle AZW files and can change some of the metadata in DRMed Kindle books. You can obtain mobi2mobi in the Mobiperl package available from http://www.ida.liu.se/~tompe/mobiperl/

Use the following mobi2mobi command to change the Kindle display title for your DRMed Kindle books:

mobi2mobi --output [output filename] --exthtype updatedtitle --exthdata "[Corrected Title]" [original AZW filename]


Highly recommended. The SFBags - Waterfield Travel Case for the Kindle is a well-made quality case for your Kindle. Plus the customer service is top notch.
