The date should not be 1970, but when hard rebooting a device the date can get randomly reset to the linux epoch (because Amazon cannot be bothered to figure out a hardware clock???).

You can fix the date as described here (using a searchbar command, which doesn't require jailbreaking): https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=273587
