So I tried using Belkaars method:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/base-mmc
#Rename the 600x800 directory to 600x800_
mv /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800 /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800_
#Link the screensaver directory to the 600x800 directory
ln -s /mnt/us/screensaver /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800

Added images- tried jpg 600x800 as well as png - to screensaver and restarted kindle but again got the blank screen.

So now I'm thinking it may be the images not being compatible? So I copied an image from /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800_ to both screensaver and sleepscreens and examined and my images are correct size and format ... so I'm back to stuck again
Two things:

1) Did you set mntroot rw before you made the changes? Even then I had to give the link command a couple of times before it "took".

2) What filenames are you giving your screensavers. See my post in another thread... https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...72#post1879472

Good luck
