If you have an old Kindle e-reader lying about then you&d best dig it up
This cool hack can turn your dead e-reader into a living clock that scours hundreds of books for exact times and displays the current time
It updates once a minute.
The project, available on Instrucables, requires a jailbroken Kindle and little else
The app uses quotes collected by the Guardian for an art project and includes writing from Charles Bukowski to Shakespeare.

My girlfriend is a *very* avid reader
As a teacher and scholar of English literature, she reads eighty books per year on average.
On her wishlist was a clock for our living room
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 so incredibly appropriate :-)
Given that our family is
apparently on our fifteenth Kindle in the household it only makes sense to repurpose one of these beasts into something useful
