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.

To remove the custom screensaver pictures you added to your Kindle, do the following;

1. Connect the Kindle to your PC with the USB cable.
2. Browse to the ’system’ folder on the Kindle.
3. Open the ’screen_saver’ folder that is in the ’system’ folder.
4. Delete the .gz files and the screen_saver_last files in that folder.

You may see a cached leftover screensaver picture the next time you hibernate the Kindle, but it will then start to cycle through the default ones that came with the Kindle.
