When I get the magnetic closure/smart cover working for my Paperwhite, I'll almost never see a screen saver again, unless I put a clear window in the cover. The screensaver selection routine makes the shutdown/wakeup process marginally slower, and the python install wastes 40M of my hard earned space. Sooo... I see that there's an uninstall update for linkss, but there's none for python. Is there an easy or semi-easy way to get this thing back to the way it was before I "fixed" it?

(kinda reminds me of back when we were taking symbolic logic, and we figured out that the contrapositive of, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," was, "If you fixed it, it's broke." ... yeah, I know... you had to be there)

Thanks for reading,
Andy
Yep...with the active cover you will not see the screensaver but for a second or two when you open the cover. I happen to like seeing it even for a short time but that may not be worth the memory usage to you. One other thing that you might consider - I also like it when I take my PW out of the house or travel with it. I turn on the security feature that requires a pin to be entered to wake it up and use the 'pinfo' addition to the screensaver (I only put my name and cell #). That way, if I lose it, there is a way for the finder to contact me and yet not be able to use it....just a FYI.
