The patent in question shows a method to implement the screen saver. If amazon is doing this, then they should pay.

Can a reader be considered a PC? If you compare it to what a PC was in 1998, I think that that is a yes.
I'd tend to agree, it is certainly arguable that the Kindle SO model fits into what is described in the patent.
