I profess not to understand the 'screensaver' concept on the kindle but I would like to point out this thought about saving screens. I thought e-paper used no power once lit. So if my kindle goes into this mode it uses energy to change the page from the last page, thus using power to save power. Then it does it again when it puts my page back up. I understand that most humans don't care about technology, but it would seem to showcase the technology if it left the last page exactly where it was, went to sleep, and when it woke up, nothing happened. What is going to sleep? You can disable the wi-fi, so what exactly is my kindle 'doing' when a page is up, and no power is being used?
Am I missing the point? Do you think Amazon wants control of these screensavers? Why? Besides the ad for kindle feedback, the images are not offensive and not seemingly branded, unless you are related to one of them. So, why not have the ability to set your kindle to do less when it goes to sleep?
