If you ever find out how your Kindle got stuck on a particular screensaver image, let us know. I wouldn't mind having a similar accident while the Lindisfarne Gospel is on my screen.

I wouldn't mind having an actual photo of Ralph show up on my screen occasionally.

What I don't like is the Writing-101 aspect of being limited to pedestrian Amazon-approved likenesses of famous authors I might not even like or read, and the indignity of their names appearing directly below their faces, suggesting I need the hint, hint, hint.

I should probably just do the screensaver hack and be done. Then I can install illustrations by Ernst Haeckel instead.

i like the screensavers. when new kindles come out if they don't have the original screensavers, we'll really have something original.
