Many thanks for the authors of this hack. From day one I have HATED the pics that Amazon put on there. I also hated that I had to hold the button for 6 seconds just to get a bloody blank screen instead of an ugly picture :-)

I grabbed a bunch of cool book cover images from things I have read and installed the hack. Beautiful!

A few weeks later, when I got tired of them I uninstalled the hack. Then I create an EMPTY screen_saver dir and reinstalled it. Now I get the INSTANT blank screen (just like on the Sony :-)) LOVE IT!!!

Wouldn't it be cool if there was an option to use the cover image of the current book you have open when it goes to sleep though?

Thanks again hackers!
