Steps:
1) Connect to your Kindle via USB
2) Create a file in the root directory called "TESTD_PREVENT_SCREENSAVER" - can be an empty file, but must be named exactly. (It'll ultimately sit in /mnt/us/ )
3) Reboot the device
Note I am not entirely sure what other consequences this may have, so use at your own risk - from what I can tell, this should be relatively safe.

Wow, thank you so much for finding and sharing this! This is working on mine as well with the most current firmware with no jailbreak.
Honestly, I just need my web app stay on screen without it going to the screensaver, so I don't need a full jailbreak anyway, so this is perfect.
