Hi Stevo, The link on the youtube page to download the text file gives a 404.  Is there another link? File name: Kindle Text.txt File size: 420 Bytes Bob

RE: Kindle 4 Custom Screensaver (non-touch)Quote: I understand the code, but what do you do with it? Well I'm not going to do anything with it, at least not until there are step-by-step written instructions instead of a shaky video with annoying background music. To give the hacker the benefit of the doubt, English may not be his natural language so perhaps a video seemed easier. Bob

Takes a lot of pausing the video but it's easy enough to follow!!

RE: Kindle 4 Custom Screensaver (non-touch)All went well up till the bit where I change the wireless settings in the control panel. Although I've got Win 7 Pro, my Network and Sharing Centre/Change adapter setting didn't look the same as his.. so couldn't connect to the Kindle. I'm not savvy enough about the wireless bit and know nil about Linux.

The important thing is to get the USBnet access and then you can copy and paste the unix commands. Once you have get to the part where you enable USBnet on the Kindle it's a good idea to unplug, then re-plug in the Kindle until you see the new RNDIS device. Mine didn't show up the first three times and I got deeply frustrated (It worked fine on my wife's XP PC, though). After that just follow the video, it's a piece of cake if you copy and paste the commands. If you get stuck, there are some great help threads here: Mobileread forum thread and here http://hackaday.com... I also recommend removing the ads if you have the ad-supported version, as otherwise this won't work. That's easy enough to do. Just Google it.
