If it was never connected to wifi ever, could it get it wrong sometime in the future?
Clearly, its system software has an algorithm for the change in daylight savings time

And yes, if your government changes that algorithm at some time in the future, without a software update your Kindle would get it wrong.

Note that in (most of) the US, it changes next weekend.
