Hi folks,

I'm trying to put some screensavers on my Kindle 4, but I must confess an absolute lack of knowledge in this area. I'm trying to follow the tutorials danar posted on the first page of this thread but I've not been able to get past the first step.

I've got Python, but after I type the first script to get a password I keep getting a syntax error "unexpected character after line continuation character". If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it, it would be rewarding to do this myself, but I realise that dumbing it down to such a beginners level could be frustrating.

I might wait and see if the full jailbreak gets released at a later point. I can't wait to get rid of these utterly dull stock screensavers though.
