Or thanks to the devs the rest of us out of ours.
I only really need (ok want) the screensavers hack but the Sudoku, calc, battery percent, collections manager and KUAL are all welcome bonuses as well

Yup, we have a lot of things people find useful to add-in here.

On the subject of device security - -
There are two "updaters" in the Kindle firmware -

We have never made a very serious attempt to 'crack' the one that handles OTA updates.
Doing that would open up the possibility of network distributed, auto-installed, Kindle malware.

So we stick with the one that requires end-user actions to install anything.
Nothing gets added to an end-user's Kindle unless they do it themselves.

Of course, that does not stop someone from using our (public, posted) tools to build a malware package for Kindles.

On that note - we just stick with our "trust level" earned in the end-user's minds by keeping the quality of the work found here at a high level.
And a quick response to any questions about any of the things found here.

And everything here is under continuous review by our user-base.
Hey, it works for us.

I personally like to think that this site has distributed fewer "mistakes" than Amazon's Lab126 crew has.
