If it shows the screensaver all okay and repeats them, I will *not* reply today. HOWEVER, if it does continue to show my screensavers in this way (which is what I wanted!) I *will* let you know this is about a week.

So that lasted about 10 minutes.

I took out the 5 original screensavers I had installed and put in about 40 new ones.

I then started to test my Kindle my turning the power off and on too see if my screensavers showed. It showed the first two -- then it went back to showing whatever was on the screen when I turned it off. No more of my screensavers showed.

I tried some of the other opinions just to see what happened, but no luck.

I noticed there was an option to turn off the screensaver hack, so I did that and am not back to the 20 original Amazon-made screensavers that came with the Kindle.

Not today, because I said, this has been going on for so long how I just become very frustrated and depressed. (I made 600 of my own screensavers for years and cannot use any of them!)

The one thing I am wondering is *perhaps* I have too much in my Kindle. I have a LOT of books on it. When I put those screensavers in, I notice I had less than 10% of memory left. I am going to remove some of ebooks and put fewer screensavers in so I'll have more than 10% memory and restore the hack. I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem, but I thought I would at least try this.

I really do NOT understand why it will show some of my screensavers and then just STOP showing them and instead only show whatever was on the screen when I turned the power off. It doesn't make any sense.
