The big question is, why won't Amazon at least give us some choices?
I think the screensaver issue is hurting the product. Enough people have now seen those tiresome author sketches that they're associated with the Amazon brand. |

I like the literary Kindle screensavers, although it would be nice if Amazon let us use our own pictures without having to jailbreak the device.

I wish that they were more consistent. I don't mind the author ones too much, although I would like it if there were more, but I hate the fish one, and the i dislike the book of kells(or whatever it is) one and the Greek thing, as they are not consistent. I jailbroke my last one and put on 10+ xkcd strips(resized, with a few panes moved to fit).

Call me old fashioned but when I switch mine off, I put it away in it's slip case and I don't see it again until I take it out of the slip case to read. So I don't see the "off screen" anyway.
If I was that bothered, I'd switch off using a long slide - then the screen goes totally blank. |

I would like an ease (non-hack) way of changing the
screen saver, but truthfully I never really look at them. |

The screensaver issue is the only reason I jailbroke my Kindle. Come on Amazon and allow us to use custom screensavers like most of the other ebook readers do!

I like the kindle screensavers and I absolutely love some of them, (the James Joyce one, for instance). They are very artistic!

Custom screensavers would definitely be nice .
All sorts of interesting possibilities come to mind . Like subscribing to PB Magazine , and getting a new screensaver from them every week ! ![]() |

I thought I didn't mind the screensavers THAT much until I opened the cover and Alexandre Dumas jumped in my face and freaked me out

Oh well...if I had the choice, I definiely would change the screensaver pictures. But they do not disturb me and since the kindle is usually in its case and I usually don't look at the screen in sleep mode more than a few second before I switch it on. So I don't really bother.
The kindle is a very good device and the screensaver surely doesn't diminish that. |
