*Please note that the Kindle Hack is to be used at your own discretion, as i’ve read stories that by using it you’re essentially voiding your Kindle warranty. So just keep this in mind. Hopefully soon Amazon will make it easier and allow Kindle owners to upload their own screensavers, as its kind of silly not to.
