Make a “Literary Clock” from a Jailbroken Kindle

Had not even thought of that. I rooted mine so I can remotely drop books into it without having to go get it and plug it into my computers. Also, the ability to read epub files is really nice.

There is a send to kindle app [0] which has worked for every document I have ever tried and it works almost instantly. I use it a ton. It even works for epub books I have converted to mobi through calibre (doesn't work perfectly all the time but if you got some programming/hacking skills, you can make it work. I got a book that mobi kept trying to translate each paragraph into a separate page through a triple conversion from epub to single page html doc (then vim find/replace page breaks) and then to mobi).

You can email files to your kindle directly; although I just recently started using a kindle so I'm not sure if that's a new feature.

But there's a caveat: you lose the book cover in the process. I think Amazon does that intentionally.

I got my first Kindle in 2012 and it already worked then, so not particularly new.
