The recently posted script for using Photoshop to convert images for use as Kindle screen savers is great: if you happen to have a legal copy of the fairly pricy Photoshop.

This simple Java program allows you to use the very sophisticated graphics library supplied for free with Sun's Java to convert JPEG images to Kindle sized gray scale JPEG images suitable for use as Kindle screen savers.

Images are sized up or sized down to fit. Images with the wrong aspect ratio to create 600x800 images are centered in a 600x800 image. The software doesn't autorotate images as I personally find that annoying. Polite requests to add the ability might get an update...

Usage: java KindleSizer <input file name> <output file name>
