Hey everyone... buying my very first Kindle tomorrow and since my boyfriend already has one, I know that you can put your own pics on them, as long as they are black n white.  I was wondering if anyone has any black and white pictures of San Francisco on here.  It's my absolute favorite city in the world, and would love my Kindle to drift off to sleep with images of SF in it's dreams  Cheesy

Thanks in advance!!
Carla  <------ stoked about getting her Kindle this week!!

Note that you'll have to install the screen-saver hack (i.e.: not supported by Amazon) to install your own screen-saver images. (Unless we're talking a refurbished Kindle 1 here?).

As a kid I must have listened a hundred times to the Bill Cosby album that had the "Lombard Street" story on it. Smiley

Did that just happen?  We went down it about 8 months ago and I never saw a sign saying closed to traffic.

I haven't been home to SF in a few years.  I didn't know it was closed to through traffic.  Maybe it's just some work they are doing on the street.  My mom and sister still live in the area.  I'll have to ask if they've heard anything.

More pics for you!

Lombard Street seen from just below Coit Tower (Wiggly part is at the top)


Another view of the bridge


I know it's running the wrong way, but this one of my favorite pics of SF because of the Dudes on the front of the Trolly!


And who could pass up some Fish & Chips? Grin
