Exclamation HAS ANYONE HACKED THE KINDLE (generation) 4??
Has anyone hacked the Kindle 4 yet?

I really do want customized screensavers.
Please do contact me if you did hack it.

Thanks,

Maybe you should check the developer's corner for hacks?

Some of the hacks for the K4 from the developer's forum have been gathered together in the wiki:

There is a custom screensaver hack documented there as well...

Customized screensavers on an eink device? Seems a little silly.
