If sucessfully jailbroken, I really can recomment the very, very, very good port of
CoolReader by Vlasovsoft:

Don't be worried about the name "chess" - even if you don't know anything about chess (except that there are 64 fields and it's all about moving figures around...
), it's not the (shareware) chess program that matters, it's the bonus programs in this packet! The CoolReader is FREEWARE, and really the very best port I've ever used. Allows exessive lots of configurations. So e.g. pixel precise margins, font sizes, ...
And BTW, after you've installed the "Vlasovsoft Tools", there's a subdirectory /vlasovsoft/sleep/ where you can put your PNG pictures as screensavers (converted to 4 bit grayscale, recommended 600*800 pixels, what is even for high resolution screens a more than sufficient resolution). They're just randomly selected when switching off CoolReader or it's idle for more than 10 minutes, i.e. it's NOT the book cover the Kindle shows. But I like just these personal, though "neutral" screensavers most - I'm daily traveling for about 4 hours by train and other passenders must not know what book I'm actually reading ...
BTW: I've had a little problem with two of the three PW3 I've jailbroken (I, as an old computer nerd, often help friends of mine with this a bit tricky procedure
...). They got stuck on the boot screen "child under a tree" logo just after obiously successfully downgrading to the initial fw and automagically rebooting. Hardware reset (long pressing the on/off button) didn't do anything except that the LED blinked either green or amber - seemingly the device was "bricked". Here it helped to connect the Kindle to USB, and when the PC found it as USB drive, I once again tried the reset via long pressing the on/off button (device still connected to the host computer). Then it worked, rebooted correctly to the main menu of the initial test fw, and I could do the ;installHtml command and all the other steps smoothly.
