Tips & Tricks #1: Show the Time
As an avid Kindle user, I’m constantly searching for tips & tricks on improving the Kindle experience. These Tips & Tricks posts will be my place to share what I find with my readers.
The first tip, one I just learned recently, but use constantly, is how to display the time on your Kindle. It’s so very simple - press ALT + T. If you’re on one of the menu pages or the Kindle store, the time displays as it would on a digital clock (ie: 10:15). If you’re reading a book, the time displays written out longhand (ie: Fifteen past ten). It’ll show up in the lower left-hand corner and only shows for a few seconds.
Some users may be disappointed with the time not being a constant, but I think it’s a great thing. I think if there were a clock constantly in my face, I’d check it compulsively while reading, which would detract from my reading experience.
