Kindle DX has built-in Calculator Function

BlogKindle have found calculator function with kindle dx. You might think that it’s very basic. Not really; but it’s not clear why doesn’t reveal this kind of information. It’s interesting to know how BlogKindle discovered such function:

I found this by sheer chance as I was trying to use search to find one of the two hundred PDF files I’m testing kindle dx with right now by a portion of it’s name (6-2-3). Turns out kindle dx doesn’t index file names but it did tell me that 6-2-3=1 :)

kindle dx supports the following operations:

  • Basic math: plus, minus, multiplication, division, power (^) and square root (sqrt)
  • Parenthesis
  • Trigonometry: sin, cos, tan, atan
  • Division by zero yields infinity result (∞)

Now, how can you use calculator functions?

  • Go to Home Screen
  • Type numbers for mathematical operation in the search box
  • Use ALT key to make sure QWERTY keyboard’s top row render numbers

Remember, this doesn’t work on kindle 1 or kindle 2.
