If you have pictures working in ANY of those tests, you might just have corrupted firmware and reinstalling the firmware might just fix it. Another problem might be actual problems with the screensaver pictures. I once had power problems with my kindle which resulted in corrupted screensaver pics when I managed to fix it. If you install the screensaver hack you can take a look at those too.

If you do end up doing something like installing firmware and the jailbreak, there is a small risk of messing up the system if you do something REALLY stupid and don't follow the instructions closely, so be aware of that if you try.
Thankyou for that, And much appreciated. I will try some of the things you suggest and report back.

Funnily enough, now that I've got used to the problem it doesn't bother me anymore. The text is still fine which is all that matters for me.
