K3 Turning Kindle 3 into an E-Ink notepad

Hey there,

Thanks for the great resource here. I have previously used the info here to jailbreak and set up ssh on my PW3 and it's incredibly useful.

I had the idea recently when I saw a dirt-cheap Kindle 3, that it might be a handy note-taking device. So far I've jailbroken the Kindle 3 and installed the myts terminal. That worked great except the font size was terribly small (not great for glancing at from a distance) and I didn't seem able to change it.. it was already at it's max width limit in the ini file.

Some further searching showed me there was a paid app some time ago called notepad that seemed to do as much as I needed. Notetaking with scaleable font size. However it seems like it's either not available in my region or been taken down or both.
I wonder if this is archived anywhere and I could install it myself?

Or is there a newer terminal that will enable font scaling on the Kindle 3?

I'd also like a way of fully disabling the screensaver (so the notes just stay on-screen at all times). I've installed the screen-saver hack, but as far as I can see completely disabling the screensaver doesn't seem to be an option.
