I'm trying to see if I can use my Kindle for more than reading books.

If you log into your Google account (use advanced settings with the web brwoser, Experimental) you can access your Google calender.

Google sees the Kindle as a mobile device so you only see days where there are calender entries. About a weeks worth of entries are shown. No option to view calender by week or month. Navigation sucks, to be blunt. Your only option is previous day or next day. This is due to Google not the Kindle.

Don't even try and make a new entry. Oh you can do it, even though you will receive an error message. However, there will be approximately 31 copies of the entry. I've tried in both basic and advanced and it doesn't make a difference.

I was really hoping I could use the Kindle to make entries into my calender but at least I can view my calender. It's a start.
