I think you want screensaver hacks. Here's one example, but there are others.

Some people add their contact details to the screensaver images, so if you lose your kindle your contact details are the first thing someone who finds it will see.

Maybe a better hack would be to disable screensavers since they serve no purpose on an e-paper display and actually cost battery to switch from text -> screensaver -> text.

The better behavior would be to not flip the screen at all and keep it static, using no battery.
