ok - as Sony was already getting covers for its thumbnails from calibre, I thought that the internal-to-epub cover was redundant. ... as tapping a cover on Sony would open the book and... show you another picture of the cover! ... and often the NEXT page is a display in text of the book title & author ... just in case you are still not sure what book you are planning to read....if you ever get pass all of this filler....

Jackie, recently tried your plug-in, and it works great on my nook. Could it be possible to add the option to copy the same cover into the wallpaper directory so that with one step your screensaver and wallpaper would be the same book cover.
I was able to do this manually but it would be nice if the plug in had an option to do it for you. |

How is the wallpaper feature different to the screensaver feature? |

The screensaver comes up when the device goes to sleep and the wallpaper shows whenever you do not have a book open.

Hello Jackie,
Sorry to hear about the tendonitus. Once you're better would you mind updating the plugin to be compatible with the Kindle Touch and the simple screensaver mod. The custom screensaver mod doesn't work with the Touch. With the simple screensaver mod the screen shots are dumped into the following folder: <device>:\screenshots They have the limitation of having to be called: bg_xsmall_ss**.png with the ** being a 2 digit number from 00 to 99. They also can't have a gap, so it couldn't go from 05 to 10 without having 06-09 there as well. Sorry to be a nuisance (I would use custom screensaver however it doesn't work on 5.1.2) and thanks for a great plugin, I look forward to being able to use it in the future. |

take a break, watch some movies, plug in an xbox controller & play some games ( uses different muscles than mouse / KB). massages are nice but they just fool you into feeling OK so you go bck to PC & inflict more damage |

Please read the date. The message about the tendonitis that jackie_w posted is from November 11, 2011, almost a year ago.

but the mobileread web site sent me a "new" post , labelled "today" - which began with "sorry about the tendonitis" - ( the one immediately below mine ). I reacted to that without checking all the dates of previous posts. |

Thanks for the concern, guys. The message may be old but unfortunately still relevant. It's now under a little better control but flares up regularly in both elbows, particularly with too much typing, e.g. coding.
Bah! I hate getting old -- but I suppose it's better than the alternative. |

The Docs have not actually advised me to stop doing anything, it's just that I've noticed excessive typing leads to flare-ups. May as well tell me to stop eating as to stop using a computer. I guess moderation and common-sense are the key-words. |

I have found that the following things help with typing induced RSI, in my wrists (maybe they dont apply for elbows, I have no idea):
1) Excercise the wrists (basically lifting weights) 2) Take frequent breaks from the keyboard (every hour or so and flex the hands for a few minutes) 3) Dont use a mouse (I have all my frequently used software setup so that I very rarely need to use a mouse) Those three cured my wrist problems. Indeed I no longer need to do (2). |

I've just found an MR link (however it is in the Wiki) https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...#Screen_Savers Though that obviously doesn't link to a thread. Last edited by Akirainblack; 08-15-2012 at 05:45 AM. |
