This is a very interesting theory.

Maybe someone could use the hackbuilder tool and "de-select" the clock hack, load the hacked firmware sans-clock-hack, charge up the reader and run through their normal activities to see if this makes a difference.....

Maybe there is a reason why Sony removed the Clock when reading books perhaps?

2 cents,
