Thanks for your quick replies, Rinzwind and NiLuJe.

I've tried Rinzwind's image file and it doesn't work either. I do shut down and restart the device every time I make a change to the screensaver folder, and I'm able to verify that the contents of that folder is indeed refreshed when I delete the default screensaver (then I have no screensaver) or copy it back again (then the default screensaver is back).

Here's the strange thing I've discovered: if I take one of my image files and rename it to 00_you_can_delete_me.png, then I am able to transfer it to the screensaver folder, reboot, and have it be my new screensaver.

In short, it looks like the device will only accept that specific filename as a valid screensaver file. (Note: I am using the Kindle 3 Wifi.)

Is there a way to uninstall the hack so I can try installing it again? I've tried using the update_ss_0.15.N_k3w_uninstall.bin and running it like the install file, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Many thanks!
