Seriously, this has gone on since the first kindle. Would it kill amazon to give us screensavers that aren't eyesores? No other company with a leading product inflict such ocular insult on its customers.

I got my kindle 3 replaced due to a defect and I'm stuck with fw 3.2.1 for which there's no JB. Egads. I'm guessing half of people who JB just want to not have to look at the random horrid screensavers.

Or they could just let us put in own screensavers. Good grief, even apple lets you do that.
