All 151 original Kanto Pokémon as sleep screens. This release supersedes the three earlier Pokédex releases and carries every panel size in one place.

Using them with KOReader (works on Kobo and Kindle): copy the images to the device, then set gear icon → Screen → Sleep screen (called Screensaver on older builds) to show a random image from a folder, and point it at that folder.

On the Xteink X3/X4, open a .bmp in Browse Files and choose "set as sleep screen cover". Those files are 4-bit BMPs with the dither baked in, because those panels have only four grey levels. Every other set is PNG with no dithering, since 16-level panels handle greyscale themselves.

What's on a plate. Sprite, dex number, name, genus, types, base stats, height, weight, experience, catch rate and the dex entry. The larger sizes also carry the evolution chain, the Red/Blue level-up learnset, a breeding block (egg groups, hatch cycles, gender ratio, EV yield) and a type matchup panel.

kindle-scribe carries more. The Scribe is 300 ppi like the Paperwhite, so it is not the 1236×1648 sheet scaled up — that would only make every glyph physically 1.5× larger. Type sizes and sprite dimensions are identical and the extra 624×832 px holds new panels: the official artwork beside the pixel sprite, the type chart read offensively as well as defensively, the complete Red/Blue learnset instead of the first ten moves, and height against a 1.7 m trainer.

Three differences worth knowing. kindle-6in carries less than the others: 600×800 is too small for the dense panels to be legible, so it uses the compact layout and drops the learnset, matchup, breeding block and evolution chain. Only the two Kobo sets are in colour — Kaleido 3 shows colour at 150 ppi but black and white at the full 300 ppi, so colour is used on large blocks (red shell, type badges, stat bars, matchup chips) while body text stays black on white. And two sets are in Chinese: kindle-pw3-zh in Simplified and kindle-pw5-zh-hant in Traditional, using PokéAPI's own zh-Hans / zh-Hant names, categories, dex entries, moves and abilities — the official localisations, so 妙蛙种子 is what Nintendo calls Bulbasaur in the mainland and 妙蛙種子 is what it calls it in Taiwan. The Traditional set is not a character conversion of the Simplified one; the wording differs where the two diverge. Both embed Fusion Pixel 12px (OFL), a bitmap face on the same 12px grid as the Latin pixel fonts beside it — each with its own subset, since the Simplified face does not carry the Traditional forms.

kindle-pw5-zh-hant is the only set rendered 1:1. 1236×1648 is the sheet's own authoring size, so it needs no scaling; every other panel resamples the three bitmap pixel faces on the way to its geometry. Its Chinese dex text is the Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee line, the only version group carrying an entry for all 151 — there is no Chinese Red/Blue text, those games predate the Chinese releases.

Type matchups use the Generation I chart rather than the modern one, since the roster is Kanto and the move list is Red/Blue. It is derived from PokéAPI's past_damage_relations rather than transcribed, so Ghost does nothing to Psychic and Bug and Poison hit each other for 2×.
