I am very tired at the moment, you don't want to read the first three things that came to mind.

Hmm...
There has to be a timer of some sort in there . . . .
I think I recall some threads / posts here where people figured out how to extend the time . . . .
Maybe if you could stumble onto those old threads, there would be hints there.

The easiest way, and really functional, is going to home screen (list of books) and, in the search bar, type "~ds" (without quotes) and press enter. The Kindle Touch will not sleep until you restart it (menu > settings > restart).

It might be enough.

"ds" must be short for "disable screensaver". That should be easy to remember.

Heh. yes indeed. I'll go dig what that actually does, IIRC there is simply one value that needs setting (I'll .bashrc inject or something eventually as this is a solely development machine). Will knows what it is I'll just ask him Tuesday if I don't get it sorted before.

in the interim ~ds is great. thanks all

Code:

# lipc-probe -a -v 2>/dev/null | grep -i '\(^com\)\|\(screensaver\)'
[....]
com.lab126.powerd
	w 	Int	touchScreenSaverTimeout
	r	Str	state	[screenSaver]
	rw	Int	preventScreenSaver	[0]
[....]

that is possibly the most useful hint I have had ever about interrogating that interface.

several times. however piping it through grep insensitive is shiny : ) and obvious - but shiny.

"Another helpful strategy is to extract all jars into a common directory, so you can grep etc. on the files."

lipc-probe -a -v 2>/dev/null | grep -i '\(^com\)\|\(Scan\)' = more shiny
