I've been lurking for a couple of weeks trying to decide if I should purchase a Kindle 2. I threw caution to the wind a purchased one and I am very, very excited.    I have my Kindle but promised myself I would hold off until I took my final exam to open it.  Good thing for me I take my exam on Monday.  I have a decal from Decalgirl and a M-edge cover in black.  I am drooling over the Oberon cover and seriously considering sending the M-edge back and asking for the Oberon for MOther's Day.

I have so many questions, specifically about hacking my K2 in order to add my own screensavers, only I have no idea where to begin.  I will do a search and hopefully I will be able to do it on my own. Just wanted to say hello and let you all know how happy I am that I found this board.

Hi and welcome. Just joined yesterday so I'm new too. I wanted to add my own pictures as well, but I've heard that hacking into the Kindle and adding your own screensavers voids the warranty. For me personally I decided not to do that.

That is no longer the case. It does not void your warinty to add your own screensavers. The jury is still out on the font change, but it probably won't affect it, either.
