Ref the Screen Saver Hack: On a Macintosh, the system puts a thumbnail in for every picture but it is hidden. This causes a blank page before every picture. To get rid of the blank pages:

On a Mac, plug the Kindle in again and bring up Terminal from the /Applications/Utilities folder.

cd /Volumes/KINDLE2/system/screen_saver [press enter key] (where KINDLE2 is the name of your Kindle volume)
rm -i ._* [press the enter key, and press the 'y' or 'n' key to delete files (or not) when asked until there are no more]
exit [press the enter key]
Restart the Kindle by moving the wakeup switch to the right for 15 seconds.
