Kindle hacking!
I love my kindle but I really don’t like the screensavers that come with it. Something about promoting people who’ve been dead for over a hundred years… Anyway, Amazon released the source code for the kindle and the hacking community got right to it. We now have custom screensavers as well as custom fonts and a few other hacks that are less interesting. You can find the latest code for the hacks as well as very easy instructions at: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88004. The only note that I have about this is that if you have firmware 3.3 like I do, you need to use a different jailbreak and hack than normal. Don’t use the k3g version; use k3g-3.2.1. Technically that’s the hack for the special offer version of the kindle but it works for firmware 3.3 as well. Check it out!
