I'm very disappointed they actually use the misleading property name preventScreenSaver

I also found /usr/bin/deleteDemoModeFlagFile.sh which sets preventScreenSaver to 0, but one of the other 23 lines keeps that from working as a search string and is way too long to type anyway.

I don't have a PW*, so I'm not going to download any of those images.
For our readers:
You can get the latest binaries of KindleTool from NiLuJe's snapshots thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030
@j.p.s: Sorry, I forgot to mention where to get the binary.

Another thing I forgot to mention was how to find the name of the file.
Search the forum for "Search bar shortcuts" -
There are a number of those posts here and at least some of them give the path and file name.

But thanks a lot for looking up the information.
There are a lot of people who read our postings, people who are not (yet) members ...
So (re-)posting brief instructions on how to learn about the Kindle system was mostly aimed at our non-member audience.
