I figured something out recently that works a lot better than my original hack, and it's permanent as long as you don't hard reset your Kindle. As root, remove /var/local/adunits, replace it with a file, AND (this part is important, as the Kindle is smart enough to delete the file) set the file to immutable (using chmod or chattr. Can't remember which one.) That should prevent the ads from showing up. Then make a link to a folder on USB storage at /opt/amazon/screensaver/600x800 (or something like that. Can't remember the exact name) so you can put images there. Once you add the images you'll need to reboot your Kindle to make them appear. Don't put too many on because it wil get slow.
