That's fine.
No worries.

What about the browser?
clocktab.com does not seem to work in my k2i's experimental browser.
Please give details beyond: "doe not work".
Tell us each thing you have tried and the specifics about each result.

3. Build our own html clock site and run it locally on the kindle
  1. So tell us how it is failing for you, other than "not working".
  2. Similar in what way? Works in what manner?
  3. Run the custom client on the Kindle? Run the server on the Kindle? Both? Neither?
    Details please, be specific.

Have you tried first to port known, working, "Kindle as a ... Display" applications to the K2i?

There are at least two (probably more) project threads to look at here - -
Using a Kindle to display the weather.
One uses an Internet source of weather information -
One uses a locally generated source of weather information.

It is often better to work on a piece-wise development - -
Move to the K2i something similar, known to work, from another model Kindle.
**AND** describe what works, what doesn't, and what does happen.

Then decide how to proceed.
