There is a hack to get the clock on it, as well as add some extra functionality to the buttons and even allow you to change the fonts for EPUB's. It's a bit of a DIY because the instructions were originally in Russian, but look at RonF's #72 post here:

I used these instructions myself, using the "Russification Sony Reader 300 (ver. boroda)" link it sends you to and the 1.05a firmware. It will change the firmware on the device, so be aware of the risks. I've been running this on my PRS-300 for over a week with no issues.

As for ebook organization, i use Calibre as well - excellent software and replaces the SONY software completely, at least for me.
