PRS-650 Standby Wallpaper Collection

Icefeldt · 10-04-2010, 02:42 PM

I came up with the idea, that we could make a collection of "Reader Themed Wallpapers" for the standby-mode of the PRS 350/650.

So if you got a nice wallpaper, share it!

I've grabbed some pictures from here. It'd be good to get some sony specific pictures, I really liked LCARS one for nook

Couple I use in landscape mode. The Swan I took at local nature reserve. The other a Street Artist I took in Rome.

Try this thread: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.ph...,5659.975.html .

I'm presuming the 650 uses 600 x 800 images?

That kenshin image is awesome! I'll be using that, too, cheers.

As per one of my earlier threads, here is another place to find screensavers:

I personally like these that I found elsewhere:

Slightly off topic.

I was wondering if there's anyway to select a particular image from the Reader to show as the standby wallpaper. Currently mine seems to cycle through them, not like a slideshow but everytime it goes to sleep there's a different image.

1) From the Applications screen, select the "Pictures" application by clicking on the title of the app.
2) When the app opens, press the "Options" button.
3) Select "Select Standby Screen"
4) Select each picture you want to rotate through as the standby screen (check mark means it is selected).
5) MOST IMPORTANT: Select "Done" button when finished. This will save your changes.

Quick question> When using a wallpaper does it use battery life in "off standby mode"?

Not any more than it would use if there was on image present. My understanding is the way e-ink works, it only takes power to redraw the screen, not to display it. So, if the picture doesn't change there is no additional drain on battery life.

Am I the only one using a family photo for my standby screen?

elemenoP · 11-06-2010, 09:49 AM

I have wedding photos and pictures of my daughter as mine. They make me happy!

A Dumb Question!

When dragging and dropping pictures to your 650 ... where do you "drop" them exactly!

Thanks!

Thanks!

You can drop your image files in the folder:
Database > Media > Images

If you are you using the Reader Library software:
1) you can drop them on the Library icon and then sync/transfer OR
2) you can drop them on your device icon.
I do the latter myself.

I am loving this screen collection feature on the new models. So nice to be able to personalize your ereader. I agree with elemnoP. They make me happy!
