In honor of Kindle's 1st Birthday, we want to know... What's your Kindle's sign?

Mine arrived on 10/29, that makes it a Scorpio! When did (or will) yours arrive?

To celebrate, I thought it would be nice for everybody's Kindle to dress up for the occasion in their Zodiac sign, so I searched the net, and found the most amazing desktop Zodiac wallpapers available at this website... http://www.zastavki.com/eng/Zodiac_signs/. I have transformed each of them into Kindle screensavers (wallpapers); so to mark your Kindle's birthday... load up one, or load them all!


Scorpio: Oct 23 - Nov 21




Sagittarius: Nov 22 - Dec 21



Capricorn: Dec 22 - Jan 20



Aquarius: Jan 21 - Feb 19




Pisces: Feb 20 - Mar 20



Aries: Mar 21 - Apr 19




Taurus: Apr 21 - May 19




Gemini: May 20 - Jun 20



Cancer: Jun 21 - Jul 22



Leo: Jul 23 - Aug 21



Virgo: Aug 22 - Sep 22



Libra: Sep 23 - Oct 22

My Kindle is named after a real person, Sir Sterndale Bennett, and his birthday was April 13 so I picked that for my Kindle's birthday -- which makes him an Aries. It actually works out well because I ordered my Kindle on April 6 and received it a month later. April 13th is sort of in the middle of those two dates.

Well mine arrived Oct 20th so that's a Libra, but has my grandfather's nickname and his birthday was March 30th which would make him an Aries.

Gertie is a Virgo.  Not surprising since my BFF, my late DH and my oldest DD are all Virgos. 

Beautiful pictures.  Thanks for posting them.

Sailor-  Jeff's post has a useful thread, and see my post in that thread for a link to some free screensavers.  Here's a "how to" from the free screensaver site that spells out the process  http://kindlerama.com/how-to/how-to-add-new-screensaver-images-to-your-kindle/

Here's another thread in the Mobiread forum that might help. too.  http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=147076#post147076

Mine probably will be Sagittarius, unless it hurries up and gets here, in which case it will be a Scorpio!

Emerson is a Gemini, which makes perfect sense since the name is the last name of two of my favorite characters in a book.  I call my Kindle a him, but the "twins" really fits.  Especially since the skin I am lusting after is mostly pink.  I'm gonna have one confused little he/she Kindle!

Eleanor's birthday is October 29th, so she's a Scorpio.  I'm a Gemini.  I hope our signs are compatible, LOL!
