Thanks for sharing your solution.

Moving a file like
Code:
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London
from a recent Linux system to
Code:
/var/local/system/tz
on the Kindle seemed to initially work, but didn't survive a reboot.

Symlinking the
Code:
/etc/localtime
file directly to the time zone file seems to fix this:
Code:
ln -s /London /etc/localtime
