OTOH it worked well, with your 5.8.9.0.1 factory version - but after upgrading: see above.
My fault...

This command still works with 5.8.11, but obviously with a bit modified behaviour: It does no longer change the time displayed in the top right corner immediately, or at least with the next minute-change. You have to wait longer than one minute or to open a book before the change visibly takes effect. Using the KUAL Helper+ submenu "Device ID" displays the changes to the system clock promptly. May have to do something with the energy saving features of the device...

Just for the records - to set date to "Jan. 18th 2018, 17:35" (time is in 24 h format regardless of the local setting), use the following search bar command:
;st 2018-01-18 17:35

But another question: How to set the timezone of the internal clock? My KT3 displays with the KUAL method above:
Thu Jan 18 18:10:24 GMT-06:55 2018
- therefore all internal timestamps (e.g. in /documents/ ) are in the mentioned timezone, roundabout 8h ahead local time (which is GMT+1h), and thus already on the next day right now. I know: When connecting the device to the internet, this is done automatically via a time server. My friend's Kindle has the correct timezone set (GMT+01:00), as he uses it online. But I've good reasons to keep my device away from the internet...
