Create a directory (call it what you will) and then place KindleTool.exe and the downloaded .bin file (update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_v2_5.14.1.bin as an example) in the same directory and create a directory called unpack in that directory.

Open a command prompt, change to that directory and then run the following command line:

KindleTool extract <update_name>.bin %~DP0unpack\

This will extract the contents of the .bin file to the unpack directory. In that directory, open the rootfs.img.gz file with 7Zip and dig down to the screensaver directory.
