@ commands
These are commands typed in the entry bar at the bottom (usually used for searching). Unfortunately, the Kindle 2 eliminated the dedicated '@' key, so you're stuck pressing another key to bring up the entry bar, deleting that key, then going to the symbol menu, selecting '@' ... not much of a shortcut! Note: in the directions below, enter stuff inside the <> but do not enter the brackets themself. - @help - displays a list of the @ commands
- @dict - brings up the dictionary that can be searched or browsed
- @print - goes to the Amazon store and searches for books with "print" in the title?
- @store <search term> - takes you to the Amazon store, searching on the given search term.
- @time - shows a window with the time and date
- @url <web address> - opens the browser and takes you right to a given address (don't type <>)
- @web <search term> - takes you to the web browser and does a Google search on whatever you typed
- @wiki - brings up the web browser and takes you to the general Wiki where you can search
- @wikipedia - same thing
