It is exactly what it says it is. I use it every 1-2 days to check dates. Since I sort my Kindle content with most recent first, this calendar is always near the top. Of course, one could also look up dates using the browser but having this calendar is MUCH easier.
Since it has calendars for TWO HUNDRED years, you’ll never have to buy another Kindle calendar again!
I am actually surprised that such an application didn’t come with the Kindle itself.
Kudos to Mr. Hou for coming up with yet another simple but extremely useful tools for the Kindle.
I’d like to address some of the criticisms that some people have about similar Kindle calendars.
For those who complain that you are unable to put a note on a particular date or see a schedule: There are DAILY planners available for the Kindle, such as 2009 Daily Planner for the Amazon Kindle (U.S. Edition). Get those instead of a MONTHLY calendar.
For those who complain that the current date is not highlighted: This feature would be technically impossible for a book author to implement on the Kindle. The Kindle (at least currently) is not like the iPhone where outside developers can write programs for it. Thus, authors are constrained to write text- or image-based documents that have limited access to other parts of the Kindle (like the dictionary, but NOT a clock). So don’t blame the author or the product for this minor shortcoming.
This Kindle calendar is alright. If I knew you couldn’t actually schedule dates for a specific day I would NOT have bought this. This calendar also doesn’t highlight the day it actually is, so how does this help if you don’t know what day it is…
Good start though, but could be a ton better.
It’s very helpful to have a calendar on hand as needed. Be forewarned that it’s not a day planner or scheduler, you can’t make notations, it’s just a calendar. If that’s all you’re looking for, then it’s for you!
The 200 year span doesn’t impress me much since 100 of those years have already passed, but I guess some people may want to be able to refer back. I’ll just use for the future and it’ll certainly outlive me going through to 2100! LOL
