Find out which Kindle model you have on this page.įor this project, you only need to install the jailbreak hack and the usbnet hack, not the screen saver hack. Also see this overview of all available software custom software. An explanation to jailbreak the Kindle and a zip file with the necessary files can be found here. In order to do that, we need to open it up through a process called 'jailbreaking' (don't worry, it's not illegal if it's your property). In order to change the Kindle into a clock, we need to get into the system files. I am excited that my project inspired theirs. Meanwhile, Johannes Enevoldsen made a web version of my clock, as did Davide. This Instructable has been featured on Hackaday, Gizmodo, The Verge and Hacker News. If you have any trouble making your own Kindle clock, please see the comments. Thank you all very much for all the nice compliments! Also, the feedback has been very useful. If you want to know the answers, pressing the buttons on the side (normally used to advance pages of e-books) will reveal them. The clock shows the quotation without the title and author of the book, so you can guess. If the clock is turned on though, as an added bonus, it doubles as a literary quiz. The way I made this, the Kindle can still be used as a normal e-reader. It updates every minute, so for instance at 9.23 in the evening, the Kindle will read My father met me at the station, the dog jumped up to meet me, missed, and nearly fell in front of the 9.23pm Birmingham express. I could have bought a wall clock from the store, but where is the fun in that? Instead, I made her a clock that tells the time by quoting time indications from literary works, using an e-reader as display, because it's so incredibly appropriate :-) On her wishlist was a clock for our living room. As a teacher and scholar of English literature, she reads eighty books per year on average.
