I don't believe there is an option to switch a 3G k2 to wifi. I attached pictures of all the settings screens (doctored to remove personal information).

USBNetworking is already installed and working great. ssh doesn't work for some reason (requires a password I don't know) but telnet logs right in. I also have KUAL and the screensaver hack to change the screensaver to book covers.

I don't see anything wrong with using the kindle as the time source. Since it's cellular, it would update itself from time to time automatically from the cell tower, right? It's accurate as of right now anyway... I don't want to have to use a device besides the kindle to serve it data. I don't have such a device to spend. If the html server were the kindle itself serving to itself, great! I want the kindle to not need a constant connection to anything besides possibly the internet and power. It should be a standalone device.

preferred settings on clocktab.com:
theme: simple
font size: if you delete the numbers it fits to screen, which is nice. Basically I want to fill the screen with the clock and I want to use the kindle in landscape mode.
icon color: black but I don't really care if there is an icon.
seconds in title: off
seconds: off
12-hour: on
am/pm: on (but it doesn't matter too much to me. maybe off would fill the space better...)
date: on I like the format but if I get to be picky I would abbreviate the day of the week to 3-letter abbreviations to afford a larger, more readable font size. (MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT SUN)
week: off

I'm sorry if this was way too specific and picky for what you were looking for. I wanted to be sure I don't leave any details out that you would want. In general, I really like the layout of clocktab.com. The date is just a little small and thin to be read across the room on a 6 inch display. Maybe a different font?

Thank you so much for your help. You're the best.
