Hi everyone,

While many people seem to hate Amazon's stock screensavers, I like them a lot - and I like most the old "gravures" - Erasmus, the fish list, the birds...
I think the eink screen displays woodcuts, engravings and similar monochrome prints very nicely. Holbein's Dance of death, for instance, is only $0.99 on the store:
http://www.amazon.com/Dance-Death-Ro.../dp/0486228045
but it is available for free somewhere:
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/21790
Anyone knows other specific sources?
thanks!
