Since the only way to set the clock is via Whispernet which I don't have, this presents a bug, for instance, where my recently read books always go to the end of the list instead of the beginning.
At this moment I can't really do anything about this situation. I can't rollback the firmware to 2.0.2, can't activate USB networking to connect it to the internet, can't access the terminal (in hopes to set the clock manually via 'time' command), and of course, can't turn on Whispernet. So everything works but with the huge annoyance to always look for my recently read books at the last page on the home screen. |
My memory may be failing, but I thought there was a way to access the command prompt - did it require connecting the Kindle to a PC or could it be done on the Kindle itself? That would let you use the Linux command to reset the time.
