Hi all,

Managed to figure out a way to get the kindle sponsored screensavers off without any hacks. Funny enough the customer rep I talked too on the phone told me this when my screen initially broke and I got a replacement.

Hold the power switch for ~25 seconds with wireless off, and let go. Flick the switch again and it will do a screen test followed with a hard reset of the firmware. After that point all advertisements are completely disabled, I even turned Wireless back on and they remained disabled unless I went into the menu and viewed the offers.
