I have a K3 Kindle that I no longer need (the Voyage is on its way soon!). I've seen Kindles re-purposed as weather stations, but I'd like to use my K3 as a photo frame - just mount it nicely and have it scroll through pictures, changing automatically every five minutes or something. As I said above, I was sure somebody would already have code for this, but it doesn't look like it. There's lots of stuff about changing the screensaver/"cover", but nothing about using it as a photo frame.

Any thoughts?
This would not be ideal, but the K3 has text to speech, so you could make a book that has the same images over and over again, turn the volume all the way down, and set it to be as slow as possible. The book would only have to have 1 copy of each image, so it shouldn't be much bigger than all the images together. It would probably stop at the end.
