Let's see...Edgar wore pink, Bella sports a man's torso...do we have some Kindle gender dysphoria going on or what?  L I knew you were going to pick up on that.... Six Pack is only temporary...really.. I need some sort of excitment while Bella's wearing this plain black cover. Star Kiss is the one I'll be using once I get my Oberon. It looks like the skins will be easier to switch out than the K1 skins were. There aren't as many pieces and there looks to be a bit more space between the buttons. |

And I am not sure how wanting to be able to customize the screensaver puts me in the same catagory as Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears.
I go to work every day. I don't drink and drive. I pay my bills and am responsible.

Since you quoted my comment, I am inclined to respond, but am having difficulty following your logic and really have nothing new to add. I suggested that talent is not measured by external attractiveness. No reference was made to you. |

If you need any recommendations for naked torso books for a bit of excitement, just ask Meanwhile, in the fine tradition of Kindleboards, I see this thread has wandered off track from the original discussion. Oh well, c'est la vie. L |

I sincerely apologize if I misunderstoond your quote. When you said, " Since the "looks are everything" school of thought has brought us train-wrecks called Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears, I'm personally delighted to see some talented, famous people who look so utterly normal. Have to agree with OP that it's entirely in keeping with the literary theme of the Kindle." It read to me that if I cared about the "looks" of the screensavers, somehow that put me in the same catagory as the above mentioned train-wrecks. I also agree that talent is not measured by external attractivness. I would still like the option of not looking at the, to me, unattractive screensavers and being able to change them. |

If you use the beefcake one with Oscar Wilde, you'll just make him leer and drool -- that sounds like it might be traumatic for some.  If it makes any of you feel better (and it won't), Oscar would probably appreciate anyone drooling at beefcake. Perhaps a funny Oscar Wilde quote would help? Some? Maybe? How about this one: "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go." — Oscar Wilde Or this one: "It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it." — Oscar Wilde Or even this one: 3565 "Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is by far the best ending for one." — Oscar Wilde (The Picture of Dorian Gray) |

Wow, I don't remember meeting Oscar, but must have. Those all fit me so well. Must have been during one of my Crown Royal spurges. |

Okay, so for now we don't get custom screensavers, but is there a way to keep one of the ones they gave us as our default? I like the Kindle definition screen... I looked around the userguide but nothing is mentioned.

Stupid Amazon.  Yep. Sorry. You can send an email to kindle2-feedback@amazon.com to let them know. I try to send a letter about once a week covering various aspects of good and bad things I've found. |
