Receiving a Kindle Book Loan

via Amazon Kindle Support

If someone has loaned you a Kindle book, you will receive an e-mail notification allowing you to download the book to your Kindle device or free Kindle reading application. After accepting the loan, you’ll have 14 days to enjoy the book until the download ends.

 To download a Kindle book loan:

1. Open the e-mail message you received about your book loan and click the Get your loaned book now button. Your web browser will launch and automatically direct you to Amazon.com to accept the loan.
2. Log into your Amazon.com account if prompted, or create one if you are not yet an Amazon.com customer. You may also be prompted to enter a billing address to verify your location only (there is no charge associated with accepting a Kindle book loan.)
3. If you are already a Kindle user, just select the device that you would like the book delivered to from the drop-down menu and click the Accept button.
4. If you do not yet have a Kindle or Kindle reading application, click the Accept button and you will be taken through the steps to download a free reading application.  After downloading a reading application you will need to return to the e-mail message and accept the loan.

Tip: You have seven days from when you first received your e-mail about the book load to accept the loan. Once you accept, you have 14 days before the loan expires.

How to Use Kindle 3 and DX as a Calculator

1. Go Home.
2. Press Menu button.
3. Select Search.
4. Start typing your equation in the search field at the top of the screen (e.g. 2+2). Remember, click on SYM to enter numbers and symbols.
5. When done, click enter button (←), and the answer will appear on your home screen (e.g. 2+2 = 4).

• Standard operators are + (addition), – (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division), % (modulus), and ^ (exponentiation).
• Parentheses () work for grouping, {} and [] do not.
• You can assign values to variables with =; for example, test=9.
• The results of the last operation are stored in the variable _ (underscore).
  • Assign _ to a variable before using it in further calculations. I have found that using _ directly results in the calculation being done twice. For example, if you enter 5*2, then _ is 10. Entering _*2 results in 40, not 20. However, if you enter y=_, you get a result of y = _ = 10. y*2 then correctly results in 20.
• The values of pi and e are stored in pi and e, respectively.
• Functions, which work on a value or expression in the parentheses, are:
  • Trig functions: acos(), asin(), atan(), cos(), cosh(), sin(), sinh(), tan(), tanh()
    • Arguments for trig functions must be in radians
    • radians = degrees * (pi/180)
    • You can assign pi/180 to a variable (eg k=pi/180)
    • To find the tan of 10°, you can then type tan(10*k)
  • Other functions: abs() [absolute value], exp() [e to the power of], ln() [natural logarithm], log() [base 10 logarithm], sqrt() [square root].

I realized that Kindle actually not only calculates the expression but also performs a search in your book titles with the numbers of the expression. If you have lots of books, the result will take longer to process because of this.
