The developers need to receive the bin first. Kovid (Calibre) doesnt have it yet either. I suspect mid June it will be available.

I've got the Kindle Wi-Fi 6" E Ink Display.
I installed this update in my root folder and placed a custom image in the "system\screen_saver", but the option to "Update Your Kindle" was grayed out (disabled). Does anyone know a trick to getting "the splash screen mod" to work on this Kindle device? FYI: I don't have "Dead Authors" but instead advertisements for the latest books that are out, AT&T 4G Networks, and Wells Fargo banking! |

Go to amazon.com and then got to "Manage Your Kindle". Once there on the left go to "Manage Your Kindle Devices" you will see a list of your devices. There is a "Special Offers" column. You will see the word "Subscribed" next to your Kindle with the word "edit" next to it. Click on "edit" and then click on "Unsubscribe Now with 1-click". Problem solved! BOb |

Thanks for your help, Bob.
I received this as a birthday gift, and apparently they saved $20 by accepting the special offers. If I now remove that "feature", I get stuck with $20. |

Two options, jp2code:
(1) Return the gift to the person who gave it to you, or (2) Play fair with the Amazon TOS and fork over the $20 if you don't like the ads. Last edited by WT Sharpe; 09-06-2012 at 06:33 PM. |

LOL - Actually, I'm going with the unspoken option:
(3) Flip that somebitch over so you don't have to look at it. |
