Hi, I'm aware of the "screensaver hack" for changing the images displayed on sleeping Kindles, and it's something I could manage once or twice, but it's a somewhat painful process. I'm wondering whether anybody has made software that handles the back end?

Basically I'm imagining something that works sort of like Calibre, only for the images. Plug in your Kindle, fire up the software, import images to a small library on your computer, and some upload / download functionality for moving the images between your computer and your Kindle. Then reboot your Kindle when the software tells you, and voila!

I've done a fair bit of searching but haven't found references to any such thing. Does it exist yet?

Thanks!
