I check the date on the Kindle:
Code:
# date
Wed Jul 10 16:17:56 PDT 2013
The time and time zone is correct. On the Kindle UI, I press the Menu button, and it reports 11:17 PM instead of the 4:17 PM on the system time. If I write the current time to the hardware clock (hwclock -w), the time in the UI remains the same.
Right ! Your off by the gmt offset in the two readings.
Being a sysadmin, you can probably fix that better than we could.
