Hi all -

I don't know if I'll be the only one with this problem, but I OFTEN lose track of time while reading a book, even on my tiny Blackberry screen. I wondered if anyone knows of a way to make the clock show up (like maybe really tiny up in the corner) while still in the Mobipocket app? If I exit the Mobipocket app to look at the time, then it takes what seems like an unbearably long time for Mobipocket to re-load so I can get back to the book. Always assuming, of course, that I'm not already late

I know that the eReader software shows the time in the corner since I also have that loaded on my Blackberry. But most of my e-books are in mobi/prc and I hate to have to switch them all over. And, aside from the missing clock, I prefer the Mobipocket interface anyway.

So, if anyone knows of a way to get the clock to show while in Mobipocket for Blackberry, I'd love to hear about it. Or, I suppose, if anyone knows of a third-party clock app for Blackberry which offers an "always-on-top" option, that might do the trick too.

TIA,

Sue
