Alright, I'm having problems with this and I don't know why. I have 2.52. I installed the jailbreak and it "failed." I installed the screensaver hack, and it succeeded. I now have the SCREEN_SAVER directory in my System directory. I can delete default screens and they won't show up anymore. So far so good.

When I put new pics in the folder, they will not display. I tried making my own, following directions, 600x800, PNG, GIF, and JPG, none will work. I tried downloading screens that other people have made and claim to be successfully using, and they don't work either. When I go to put the Kindle to sleep, sliding the switch, it will sit there for a good 10 seconds or more, then go to a default author screen, if one is present. If not, it will just continue to display the page I was reading as the screensaver, though, of course, none of the controls will respond til I slide the switch again to wake it.

What am I doing wrong?
