Hi !

I got my kindle4 nt for christmas. It currently is on Firmware 4.0. I have not yet registered it with amazon.

I want to use the diagmode - root access to do a screensaver hack, so i wonder if that would still work once i register my kindle with amazon and they push a firmware update to the device ?

Is there a way to prevent firmware updates ? Should one do that ?
I presume a firmware update will remove the root-access right ?
