It's a sleep screen, not a screen saver, and you don't see it with a sleep cover. I did add this to the DXG and it makes it much slower to wake. Later firmwares do it. It was the only thing I kept of patches on the DXG as it has no sleep cover. Didn't see any point to other patches.

Yes. However does it have search by series possible? I can't see such a thing on any of my 4 different Kindles.

Um, that works on Windows or Linux without a jailbreak, but drag and drop of more than a few items is perilous. I use Calibre, which works with all Kindles?
Or does that use WiFi? I never enable WiFi on my Kobos or Kindles, only on the Likebook Mars so as to use the library via Borrowbox, but they have updated something and it needs a new PIN.
But the better solution is a Kobo. I have 4 different Kindle models.
