Press the Keyboard button top open up the search box and type an equation like so:

Code:

1+1

And press Enter. This will display:

Code:

1+1=2

as the first search result, as well the other search results under it.
More complex equations are available as well:

Code:

(5+4+3+5)/4=4.25

Code:

3^7=2187

I don't have a floating point decimal error example on hand wight now.
Doing things like:

Code:

7>6=76

Code:

23|60=2360

so it's not the best, but it works for a quick calculator!
THIS MEANS DON'T BUY A CALCULATOR APPLICATION FOR YOUR KINDLE!

Well that is really cool! I already bought one but its fine that I did cuz it has the trig and calculus functions that I need (and costed 99¢)

but this would be easier to use I'm sure.
