Yeah. I used it for a title line and a "user input" line in my tiny eips-based terminal script. Using eips limits you to not using a LOT of characters needed by linux, so the next "terminal" used "dd" to blit character images (the tiny tty "titty" script).

There was an eips replacement program posted awhile back (eprint, I think) that should do more characters. It is in an thread by fbdev, as I recall.

The functions script that did centering was on my K3. There were other useful eink functions too. I did not look closely at it on newer kindles. Perhaps the "good stuff" is missing in the latest firmware.
