You can erase the RUNME.sh, RUNME.done and RUNME.out. BTW: to able to see /opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800_ , you should use usbnetworking. |

The relective pixels are actually "flipped over" to change from black to white. The "pixel state" is static, no power required, pull the battery and a month later the screen still is displaying whatever it was displaying. Quote:
What you see from another machine connected via USB as the Kindle storage area is actually a sub-directory of the Kindle's "root directory" (/mnt/us). I.E: only part of the file system tree is visible to the "normal" user unless some other type of access is in use (terminal over ssh, full file system export over OTG, etc.). |

WHY eink burn-in cannot occur

WHY eink burn-in cannot occur: Spoiler:
So, the SHORT answer to your question is "NO, the display cannot burn-in", but to those who do not understand the technology, it can APPEAR that burn-in does occur. Last edited by geekmaster; 05-26-2012 at 10:17 AM. |

Reads a lot like how core memory works, only with oil beads instead of ferrite cores.

There is an effort ongoing to bring back "core memory" only using nano-tube nickel (or other materials). Nano-tube nickel just happens to look like 30w motor oil to the naked eye. Once they figure out how to string the wires through the microscopic holes... |

There seems to be a DIY core memory "hobby" now:
http://ocfnash.wordpress.com/2011/05...memory-reborn/ Here are the DIY core memory "shield" plans for your Arduino: http://www.corememoryshield.com/ To learn more about core memory, be sure to read the short PDF file at the second link above. Last edited by geekmaster; 05-26-2012 at 10:50 AM. |

it could be wrong but I assumed that it sorts the pictures according to their names. if this is the case then this method should work (at least after a restart) but it may be possible to make this work w/o a restart by using the already exist names(for example, some fix names like numbers etc) |
