1) Is there a way (other than the hack i am reading about) to make the picture already on my Kindle my screensaver? I put it on there tonight but im confused from there.

2) Are there legit sites that have newer books I can download for free/cheap? I went to a few but they have older books (huck finn, etc) and i need newer ones. For example im looking for The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks for bookclub.

3) Is there a place that has covers and cases? I have 3 kids and i know one of em will drop it at some point. Id like to try and protect it.

and finally for your time reading this.
For #2 I like the Smashwords site: http://www.smashwords.com/ for newer books, also you can get all kinds of free books from the amazon website (just look up the category of book you're interested in and do a sort by price "Low to High").

For #3 Amazon has several covers listed (they even have a lighted cover that uses the K3 to power the light).
