The latest generation Kindle may be one of the best e-readers available at the moment (read ourreview), but it also has a few hidden features you may want to check out.
Elliot Hartley has been investigating exactly what Amazon put on the Kindle 3 that it decided it didn’t want you to see, and the list is surprisingly long.
Did you know, for example, that there are two games you can play by pressing a few keys on the keypad? The first is Minesweeper accessed by holding down “SHIFT + ALT + M”. Once in that game a further game can be accessed called GoMoku just by pressing “G”. For those that don’t know,GoMoku is a strategy board game other wise known as Five in a Row. If you want to get back toMinesweeper from GoMoku just press “M”.
Away from the games the other big hidden feature is an image viewer. This is accessed with the following steps provided by Elliot:
- f = full-screen
- q = zoom in
- w= zoom out
- e = reset zoom
- c = actual size
- r = rotate
- nav controller = pan
Finally there’s a few hotkeys everyone should know about:
- alt + shift + G = screenshot
- alt + G = screen refresh
- alt + home = Kindle Store
- alt + top row of letters on keyboard = numbers 1-9
and while reading a book:
- alt + B = add and remove bookmarks
- shift + Sym = Turn text to speech on and off
- set cursor down the page to start text to speech from there
- right arrow on nav controller = skip to next chapter
- left arrow on nav controller = skip to previous chapter
If you have any more tips for hidden functionality on the Kindle please let us know.

Matthew’s Opinion
It seems that jailbreaking your Kindle only reveals more fonts, where as a bit of investigation work opens up a both extra functionality and some really useful key shortcuts. That top row acting as numbers is going to come in really handy for entering WiFi network passwords, and when performing searches.
Having a couple of free games is also nice, and it’s not like Minesweeper isn’t popular. It’s just strange that Amazon chose to hide them and the image viewer rather than advertising them as experimental features just like the web browser.
Ultimately the more functionality an e-reader has the more chance it has of surviving alongside the onslaught of tablets that will arrive next year. Kindle does have a few advantages though, especially when you’re sitting by the pool.

QQ风格的UITableView
带动画效果的 QQ 列表收缩展开代码例子:TQQTableView
本人开发过程中,发现出了黑色,不能设置其他颜色,如果设置了,就画不出东西了,后来网上终于找到了,我是在xml中设置的背景,我想在class中设置应该也可以
xml
<SurfaceView android:id="@+id/SurfaceView01" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:background="#FFFFFF" ></SurfaceView>
class中需要加入的东西是
//画板和画笔 sfv = (SurfaceView) this.findViewById(R.id.SurfaceView01); sfv.setOnTouchListener(new TouchEvent()); mPaint = new Paint(); mPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);// 画笔为绿色 mPaint.setStrokeWidth(1);// 设置画笔粗细 // 设置样式-填充 mPaint.setStyle(Style.FILL); sfv.setZOrderOnTop(true); // 这句不能少 sfv.getHolder().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT);
