Images for eInk Screensavers
I just ran across these while looking for some new images to change up my screensaver rotation:

http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/sitemap/sitemap.php

The license says for educational use, but many of them are old and obviously out of copyright. The vast majority are in a format that is very eInk friendly and easy to turn into screensavers.

They aren't screensavers. eink screens don't need to be saved.

OK, if you want to be Mr-Pedant-His-Pants:

This hyperlink references a site containing a large number of images that work well with the 16 gray pallet of most currently produced ebook readers with eInk displays, which might be useful for creating sleep mode images, colloquially known as screen-savers, for your ebook reader.

Better?

Or we could call them what they really are...

battery drainers.

How does it drain the battery? Because it take ones cycle of the screen to show it - and then it never uses energy again? Oh wait, 2 refreshs of the screen - one when you go to sleep, the other when you wake up.

These are very nice. Thank you very much! Even if they have no practical purpose I like to have a nice picture for the "standby-screen" (this is Sony's term).

What he said. Surely one of the many attractions of e-ink is that a static page of text or image represents only the most minuscule drain on the battery.
