The bottom line: if you plan on using the Kindle for any kind of note-taking, get the Keyboard version.

From home screen, then do ~help

I find, ~disablescreensaver to be quite useful at times.

Just remember to do ;debugOff after done.

Didn't tought it could do this much XD. By the way, i have a couple images i'd like to try using as screensaver via Alt-Shift-0, but i'd like to know if you can "undo it" later on, if there's a way to go back to the other screensavers with the authors on them. Thanks. These shortcuts are great! Didn’t tought it could do this much XD.

Very nice for road trips. There's plenty of links on google just search "tether kindle 3"... you'll have to jailbreak it first tho. Brad, good looks on Alt+Del. As a side note, this is a common key sequence for most electronic devices (phones, computers, etc..). Alt+Del on computer does an entire word at a time.
