Hi,
I have 0.16.N installed and working on my PW (FW 5.3.9). I use it in cover mode and, for the most part, it works well. I run into problems with magazines though.

I can see covers for the magazines on my Kindle's home screen but I've never seen a magazine cover get used as my screensaver. Is this something that should work or not? If it should, how can I figure out why it's not working?

If the SS hack will never work with magazines, can I request a fallback mode to display some default custom screensaver whenever I'm reading a magazine? As it is, whenever I read a magazine my screensaver always shows the cover of the last book that I read. That's misleading and tends to drive me away from reading magazines (because I can't show off what I'm reading). Instead, I'd like it to fall back to a regular screensaver and show that instead. It still wouldn't advertise what I'm reading but at least it also wouldn't show I book that I haven't read recently.
