... it all started in a chat room and IMHO is a chat acronym standing for: In My Humble Opinion.
Maybe its not quite so 'humble' but these pages are where I get to spout off about all sorts of things and give the world the benefit of my amazing advice.

Wrong time and date on a Kindle Fire HD?
Here's how to cure it:
Press and hold the power button for a full 20 seconds
Release the power button
Switch back on
When it restarts it will get the correct time from Amazon. You won't lose any of your downloaded books.
If it didn't work for you, the chances are you didn't hold the power button for quite long enough. The aim is to to a 'Power Reset'. Try holding the button for 30 seconds.
Top tip! thanks, it worked.
