No but there are various ways to work around this. I loved this feature on my PRS-505 and it was one of the things I sorely missed when I got my new PRS-T1. So, what I did was-
1) Root the PRS-T1 using the minimal root package found at
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRST...ing_and_Tweaks
2) Open books using the FBreader app-(or the coolreader app) just open a book as you normally would from the Sony Homescreen. You will be presented with the following choices a. Coolreader b. FBreader c. Reader (official sony reader app) FBreader and coolreader both have the ability to display the time in their titlebars
3) You can configure the specific nuances of the title bar in the settings/options section of the app. Coolreader and FBreader both offer the option to show the time in the title bar of their respective apps.
I find that I like FBreader better than coolreader because it seems to have better anti aliasing on the bold Droid Sans font. I like to read my books with a bolded font because the contrast is better. Bold fonts seem to be handled quite poorly in coolreader as the lack of anti aliasing seems evident.
If you run into problems with the Home app opening the same book in FBreader and coolreader despite selecting different books in the Home app, just use the alternate Homescreen app developed by Mrspaceman as this is what fixed the issue for me. That can be found here:
