Screensavers For eInk eBook Devices

Of course, the thing is that eInk doesn’t require a screensaver.

Nevertheless, the Kindle, Nook, and Sony Reader can display an image when they go into sleep mode.

In the instance of the Kindle, it now requires a hack; that prior option was taken away probably due to Customer Support calls. See the link at the end of this post for the minor hack required.

And you’ll notice I haven’t mentioned Kobo. It has its own scheme, sometimes displaying the cover of the book being read.

Here are two resources I bumped into on Flickr today:

Nook Wallpapers
Kindle Backgrounds

Here’s an example:

All are 600 x 800, ready to be downloaded and installed.
