Also, typing @t from the HOME screen

will get you date & time in a pop-up box

At the home page, press Enter key (below ‘Del’)
and then enter @t
and press Enter key again

Unfortunately you need the symbol key to do the @
but it’s just one up and one up to the right.

That combo doesn’t, so far, work in books but there’s likely
a way.

On the Kindle 2, you can type your equation and, rather than hitting enter and searching, use the right on the 5-way to go to Google and select that. That will give you your answer. Of course, connectivity is required for that. I would assume any of the other Google functions also work (currency conversion, time, etc.).

Actually just pressing “Menu” will show the time in the title bar.

Very cool. Any idea how to get the DX to display the time? I remember Command+T working in the Kindle 1.

He didn’t have a digit 8 in the multiplicands, and indeed, 12345679 x 9 = 111111111

actually, it is accurate since there’s no 8 in the term he entered.

Great, but inaccurate. 123456789 X 9 = 1111111101, not 111111111.
