So I’ve joined the e-book revolution, and thanks to a belated Christmas present, I’ve got a Kindle! It’s so very handy for reading books while wrangling a baby. I don’t have to struggle to hold it open, it just sits there, with text of whatever size is convenient, and I just have to hit the page turn button occasionally. I’m already wishing I had one for the cycle tour in 2009 – we struggled to find second-hand book stores with decent books in most of the small European towns we were cycling through.<\/p>\n

However, although the screensavers that came with the Kindle had their own charms, I’d have enough of them within half a day. So I set forth to find out how to replace them. Methods have changed since the early Kindle days, so some techniques out there won’t work with the current (3rd) generation Kindle. I ended up using the jail-breaking technique described here<\/a>. The instructions are pretty thorough, and the process fairly straightforward.<\/p>\n

I uploaded a mix of images I found that other people had created…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

My full collection of Kindle screensavers<\/a> (being added to as I get around to creating more). Any 600×800 black and white image will work, but ones above 100kB start taking noticeably longer to load.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
