I don't care what shows on screen, as long as it's not that skeletor Emily Dickinson pic that was on the K2. When the screen refreshed, she always tried to kill me.

I do want to eventually buy a cover for mine, preferably one of those with the magnetic lid that wakes the screen when I open it.
But as for now, my Kindle has never been outside my home anyways, so I don't need that much protection on it. And I really like the thickness and overall feel of my Kindle, so I do have a bit of concern that the cover might spoil that a tiny bit.
I do agree, however, that the screensaver has absolutely noting of a "saver", and is arguably even worse for the screen than if it was nonexistent, as it makes the screen go through a refresh cycle when it appears, and another one when it disappears, wasting power and potentially even shortening the lifespan of the screen.
