Alarm clock
When you're right into a good book, time flies, so a simple alarm function I would have thought would be a must on Kindle.
I have the Kindle KB, is there any way to retro install some kind of alarm?

Question can not be answered until you define the limits of your understanding.

How can I define limits to that which I don't understand?
Forget it, thanks anyway.

Just realised, thanks for the link Thomass, but that's for Kindle Touch isn't it?

I don't see anything that is K5 specific.

What part of that post did you have trouble with on your K3, there is probably an alternative.

"This is a very very very plain alarm clock for KT."
Does that not stand for Kindle Touch?

At this time, we have standardized on the model names used in the forum prefixes and the forum index wikis (K2/DX/DXG/K3/K4/K5). A K5 is a Kindle Touch.

If you search MobileRead for KT, you will find that the vast majority of hits are for the Kobo Touch, but cscat meant K5 in the context of this forum. He designed this app for the K5 (which he called a KT back then) because that is what he had to test it on. It is generic and should work on other kindle models as well (such as the K3).

It does.

But I am here to tell you that nearly every *nix system ever built supports crond and crontab.

I think it first appeared the second time K&R forgot to take a coffee break.

The number comes from your firmware major version number. You can find that and other device information in your settings menu. The Kindle Keyboard runs version 3.x firmware, so it is known here as the K3.
