I don't mean to be a dope, but how do I add/change screensavers?  (Assuming that I ever get my hands back on GeekBook™?)

I know there are a lot of cool pictures of peoples' screensavers, but I can't find how to get 'em onto mine.

I apologize in advance.  I know that this is posted somewhere else.

UPDATE:  Never mind.  I found it.

Check the FAQ, there is a procedure for the K1 to put your own screen saver on.

On the K2, it's different.  Check the Tips and Troubleshooting section and there is a thread about the latest screen saver "hack.'  It is version 0.4.  It's fairly easy to follow, and the instructions are there.

Don't forget that you can add your custom screensavers too.

I had a friend show me his K2 with the "hacked" screensaver and I admit, it's pretty d*mn handy. I'm hoping this becomes a stock option eventually.

Amazon has stated that it will NOT be done as an official thing.  Sad  They MAY change their mind, but it seems unlikely.

Even if they don't (which I doubt they will) it's pretty easy to add the custom ones. Much easier than switching them out on the K1.
