Hi im a big history fan but not so great with a computer, would it be possible if anyone can help me make a few american themed screensavers,the founders in particular would be great, ive found a few pics that i think would look quite good but i dont think my sizing is exact,thanks a lot guys:
i selected these people because they are several of my favorite figures,but feel free to add others,these are just suggestions Smiley

LOL!  They don't make 'em like they used to I guess!

Here's a more modern one.


I haven't tested any of these yet, so I'm not sure how they will appear on the kindle.

Thanks 911jason.  Yeah, I just search google for the autographs and add them to the images.  There are sooo many "American Heroes" that we can come up with!  I'd like to see some other great American symbols....maybe our flag, buildings....etc.  Of course...since these are for personal use I don't see a big issue with using these images (which are not my own, obviously).

Here's another Mark Twain.

I agree with you regarding personal use of the images... we're not selling them, just converting them for use on our devices. =)
