Thanks for this extension, and all the little tips on how to get it working after the new software updates! My PW2 is now a desk calendar that shows me upcoming events for the coming weeks!

For those curious about how I generated the calendar screensaver, I automate the running of a little script on a Raspberry Pi that pulls events from my Google Calendar daily. The script also formats the event into the desired layout before rendering as an image, and placing it on a HTTP server (that also runs on the Raspberry Pi). The Kindle then retrieves the calendar from the HTTP server every morning via the Online Screensaver extension, and changing the screensaver to show me the updated calendar.
