I guess it was too hard to have the Kindle ask what timezone you lived in or even the name of the country you lived in (which Amazon already knows)...
Pathetic. Just pathetic. Well done Amazon, a wonderful example of technology thirty years after its time.

I don't blame Kindle. I blame the nitwits who force us to adjust time twice a year because, well, because they can.
