On the subject of the weather display -
As I understand it.....
You want a weather display updated at regular intervals **When not reading a book**
and
The usual e-book reader behavior **When you are reading a book**.
Perhaps with a manual control of some sort that tells the system "I am done reading for now".
(Rather than just taking a long time to read the current page.)
Hmm...
That might be doable - but it **will not** be a "beginner's script" by a long shot.
Think about it this way and see where it leads -
Perhaps set up the Kindle screen saver to display the most recent weather report image it rather than the cover of the current book -
Now when the Kindle times out (or you tell it "go to screen saver") - the most recent weather report image is displayed.
Great - until the time comes to update the image with the next report.
Ah, what does the Kindle do while the screen saver is being displayed?
Ans: It shuts down.
I.E: No computer running, no computing of the next weather report.
The Kindle system just isn't implemented to support that kind of activity.
It's **ON** when your reading a book - It's **OFF** when you are not.
At this point - your alternate weather display project runs into some really complex issues to solve.
Perhaps the way forward from this point would be to examine how the SO units do their "get next ad." process.
(The Kindle can awake from sleep to **try** to get the next advertisement.)
Still - that doesn't make your project any less complex.

I hope that helps you find someone to give you a hand.
