Kindle ScreenSavers

2010/12/29 by Rolando Garza

After doing some research, I found a way to put my personalized screensavers on my Kindle.

I found some cool and geeky kindle screen savers by Will Fuqua — and even a Stephen Colbert screen Kindle screensaver — but I wanted to make my own.

So after googling around I found a very good tutorial on how to make your own Kindle-optimized screensavers; since I use the GIMP instead of Photoshop, I had to create my own palette — Kindle.gpl — which I’m happy to share.

Here are some pics of my creations:

And here they are, in case anyone wants to use them.

Kindle screensavers are 600 x 800 and Kindle DX Screensavers are 824 x 1200.

I also took the liberty of submitting them to KindleSavers.com.

  1. Cool article! Glad you found the KindleSavers tutorial helpful.

    Would you mind if I made your gimp file available on http://kindlesavers.com? I would credit and link back to you of course.

  2. Of course Colin! I’d be honored if you featured my gpl file! Thank you very much!
