A while back my DXG developed an issue where the current book I was reading wouldn't show up on the first page but somewhere randomly on page three or four. So every time I wanted to continue reading I had to hunt down the book I was reading.

I performed a few soft/hard resets but it wouldn’t resolve itself. So yesterday I reset it to factory specs and deleted all the empty collections.

It allowed me to reregister over the air and its currently at 2.5.8. I reinstalled the jailbreak and the screensaver hack. It seemed to work as the regular Amazon screensavers are gone and when I manually put it to sleep or let it sit I get the “screensaver hack” screensaver, but even though I copied the same screensavers I used before to the same folder “screensavers” none of them work. Even tried creating a “screen_savers” folder and still no dice.

Any thoughts?
