Um am I missing something?
This is just a quick and stupid question ...
Why does the setup of the Kobo ask for a time zone and the actual time ... when the Kobo doesn't display the time anywhere that I can find? Just wondering ... Mary |

Sort of just guessing...
Mostly so that library checkouts will work properly and expire on time. |

The Kobo device does have the time in the settings area, yes it would be nice if it would display on the menu or somewhere a bit easier to get to.

You have to go into the settings to actually see what time the Kobo thinks it is - the funny thing is that I have two and neither one can actually keep time worth a damn - the clocks drift out by 20 minutes a day or so (they're both registering about 3 days in the past at the moment). There has been no discernable effect regarding syncs or purchases.
