If you want them to appear as screensavers you need to hack your Kindle. Google is your friend.

No, the Kindle 4 isn't in colour, but the Kindle Fire (not currently available in the UK) is. Failing that, if colour is so important to you, buy a tablet computer. Personally I read books which are black text on a white background, so colour would be worthless.

Wifi needs a hotspot, 3G works anywhere there is a 3G signal.

You can add notes to your books, but you can't save files. If you want to do that, buy a tablet computer.

Oh grow up. Amazon are as safe as houses. Stop being so paranoid and register. If you don't register some functionality of the Kindle won't be available to you.
