Here is what I think a usable version of my "last page" screensaver hack (with normal firmware update files now).
I changed icon to look like a small lock, in PDF mode it's placed in the bottom left corner (replaces percentage info), in all other modes - in the top right corner (replaces wireless and battery icons).

Note, this is a potentially dangerous hack - if I made a mistake or something goes wrong, your Kindle will be bricked. Update process itself (check install.sh) is very careful - I only update a known version of original Kindle firmware jar file, check that patched file is correct and only after that replace the original one. I recommend that you take some anti-bricking precautions or wait for success reports from other forum users.

I'll post some screenshots shortly

Update: use version 0.03
