Let me begin by saying that I bought a Kindle 3G ad-supported version.
I'm fine with ads for the most part, the ad banner on the main menu is perfectly acceptable. However, I find fullscreen screensaver ads obnoxious. I despise the fact that I'm not allowed to use my own custom screensavers on my device. What's the point in showing a fullscreen screensaver ad anyway? It's not like I can click it!
Anyway, what I'd like to achieve here is custom screensavers (a map of Middle Earth looks pretty awesome on the screen), whilst keeping the banner ad on the main menu. However, if I replace the screensvr.gif images in \system\.assets\234198723 & such folders, the system realises it and COMPLETELY eliminates ALL ads and replaces them with "Please connect wirelessly to download the latest special offers" images.
Needless to say, that's pretty stupid. No more ads show, period. Once that happens, nothing I do short of a factory reset will get the ads to show up again. This is a loss for Amazon. I want to meet at a middleground, not completely disable ads like this option does quite simply, and not have to deal with lame fullscreen ads for screensavers.
I just want my custom screensavers!
