Both set to the same (GMT) time.
?? Is the "several hours off" happen to be your offset from TZ-0?

I'll give an example. From my Linux machine, I push my Los_Angeles (PDT) zoneinfo file to /var/local/system/tz:
Code:
$ scp America/Los_Angeles kindle:/var/local/system/tz
Los_Angeles 100% 2819 2.8KB/s 00:00
On my Kindle, I run ntpdate to sync the time:
Code:
# ntpdate pool.ntp.org
10 Jul 16:16:26 ntpdate[8386]: step time server 74.120.8.2 offset 25966.135014 sec
I check the date on the Kindle:
Code:
# date
Wed Jul 10 16:17:56 PDT 2013
The time and time zone is correct. On the Kindle UI, I press the Menu button, and it reports 11:17 PM instead of the 4:17 PM on the system time. If I write the current time to the hardware clock (hwclock -w), the time in the UI remains the same.
