There also is a depiction of a Renaissance man writing with a curtain as the background.

Thanks for posting these - I know I asked at some point. It sounds like there are more on the K2. But the fancy B is missing! I wish we could have all of the screensavers - K1 and K2!

What I'd like to see is the use of the Cover for the book you are reading as a screensaver.

The man with the curtain is Erasmus; not sure what you mean by Durer & then "Albertus" -- one of the images is an engraving by Durer of Albert of Brandenburg, who inadvertently helped start the Reformation.
My husband's Kindle arrived at my office, so I opened it there & charged it up -- my colleagues & I thought at first that guessing who was in the screensaver images was a game -- but then, we noticed that most of the writers were labeled. Not sure why Amazon assumes they need to tell us who Mark Twain is but we'll immediately recognize Erasmus, & I have no idea why Albert of Brandenburg deserves to be thrown in with the writers anyway, but we did have a bit of fun. |

I thought of that idea as well, but then I reconsidered: Do I really want folks seeing the cover of Naughty Nurses 3: Nude at Night?

The "cathedral floorplan" is actually Villa La Rotonda, a villa just outside Vicenza, Italy, designed by Andrea Palladio, a famous Venetian architect from the 1500s. It is a beautiful building.

I wonder if newer recent Kindles have some additional images.
My own Kindle (purchased April 2009) has the same screensavers listed by SirBruce, above (as far as I can see). But my wife's model (purchased earlier this year) also has the following: A montage of tropical fish Ralph Ellison Kindle definition page showing a person under a tree rather than the falling letters. All the others on her model seem to be the same. Anyone else got these additional images? |

You could check if you have an other firmware than your wife. |

My Kindle 2 was bought this month. I have a grouping of different birds on a branch and some other non-human images.
