what time format does your kindle show?

I ask because I first asked Amazon support on how to change the time since it is about 2h off in my Kindle (so far the only reply is like "will ask tech"). I also asked them how to change the time format since it shows 12h-format. I prefer 24h and would like to change to that. The reply I got was that the Kindle can't show 12h and only shows 24h...


EDIT:
I found the network status page and noticed that it gets no local information from the network and probably newer has. Amazon probably assumes networks sends out this information.

My Kindle 2 displays time in 12-hour format, specifying AM or PM. There probably isn't a way to change to 24-hour format unless you go beyond what is provided for by Amazon.

As far as the time being off, I had that problem today. I reset my Kindle to the factory settings and discovered that it was way off on time. When I went on-line to shop in the Kindle store, the time corrected itself.

I would guess that the Kindle checks your address information to calculate what zone you are in, then automatically corrects the time using Internet data. So, if you are two hours off, I would look at what Amazon thinks your address is.

Mine shows the correct time in the UK, and correctly adjusted for the end of "summer time" last weekend.
