The pic size should be 800x600 pixels, and the file size doesn't really matter, though I try to keep mine under about 150Kb to save space and reduce loading time.

Just a quick question for you all. If the screensaver hack is applied after the jailbreak - where do the original Amazon screensavers go? Also, is it possible to restore them after if I ever need to remove hacks and jailbreak?

The originals are still there but you can't see them. If you uninstall the hack the originals will come back. What the hack does is it tells the Kindle to load the images from a different directory than the default one. Once the hack is uninstalled it loads the images from the original one again.

The old screensavers are still available - they're in the linkss/backups folder, so yes, you can restore them at any time .

Hmmm....it looks like I am about to start spending more time finding screensavers than actually reading books! I have had to stop myself at about 30. Mainly video games, Star wars and movies.

All good though.

Elvgren's work is still in copyright, and it's unlikely his work is legal for download and use in this manner.

His memorial website is at http://www.gilelvgren.com/GE/intro.php

His estate's art representative is the Louis K. Meisel gallery: http://www.meiselgallery.com/LKMG/

Elvegren and other great pin-up artists are handled through Meisel, on a separate site here: http://www.greatamericanpinup.com/GAP/
