Thanks guys.
It also overlaps when on the top (even more). I am going to put it again at the bottom - the overlap there is smaller.
I found a small problem (not sure if small). My device is PaperWhite but it is detected as "k2 or something detected" :

if [ ! -e /proc/fiveway_wake ] ; then

echo "k2 or something detected"

echo "" > /var/log/messages; tail -f /var/log/messages 2>/dev/null | \
awk '/.*PageAction*./ || /.*acxmgrd*./ || /.*NextPage*./ || /.*Reader*./ {system("eips 40 0 `date +%H:%M`")} '
exit 0

I mean this portion of code is the one that affects the clock when I make changes. Which is probably the reason for showing the clock only when page forwards but not on page backwards.
