but the more elaborate script at pastebin doesn't seem to take -- is there something not allowing this to work in the latest kindle software version 3.3?
Hi dave, the script works for my kindle3 with kindle software 3.3. If you can manually toggle the effect with commands through putty, then the script should work for you(that's what the script does).

I recommend you to use this script with launchpad, so you can toggle the hacks on and off whenever you want. Following is my configuration file for launchpad:

Code:
[Actions]
;; reread hotkey sequence database
F E = !/Path/to/the/script/flashDis.sh &
;; install custom updates
F D = !kill -SIGTERM `cat /var/run/flashDis.pid` &
But most of the time, I turn this hack off because it sometimes black out the whole screen, forcing me to press home key to refresh it. This bug happened quite often when reading pdf. :-(
