Hi everybody,

since this is my first post - hello to all. Nice to have found you, I hope you can help me.

I'm a Kindle owner for a few days now and am slowly getting to know the limitations of the thingy. There's one thing I can't seem to get which should be possible: the correct time.

I have a WiFi only "international" model, 3.02. After setting the time in the beginning, I always kept WiFi OFF. I read, I let the kindle go to sleep, play around, put new material on it ...
Then I pick it up the next morning and the time is wrong by several hours.

The battery is fine. Only possible explanation I can think of: Does a restart reset the time ? I use the Kindle collection manager which requires a restart afterwards.

Otherwise I don't see why the device should loose track of time. Did anybody else have a similar experience ?

Thanks for your time ... =))
