I can make you a screensaver using that image, but it won't line up with the lines coming off the screen area. I can't find a large enough image of the complete artwork to crop from.

See how they did it on the nook? They provide screensavers for the skins they sell on the nook. I think because they knew the screen would be blank on the Kindle, they rearranged the artwork so that the heart would still show on the front of the Kindle skin.

Just to show you what I was talking about, take a look at this image in progress from Photoshop...



It may be hard to tell, but from what I can see, they actually used three separate images, rotated, cropped, and re-sized to make the front skin for the Kindle. There is no way to use the existing artwork to make a screensaver that will connect all of those lines on the skin.

That said, here's just a plain screensaver using the art on DG's site that you may decide is better than nothing... sorry! =(
