the thread about synching across multiple Kindle devices caused me to ponder this.

does a Kindle add date & timestamps to its files
a) when downloaded wirelessly,
b) when transferred via USB.

does it "know" the time only when wireless is enabled or does it have an internal clock that keeps time so long as battery does not go flat.

( my K3 only dispays date & time on menu screen if Wireless is on )

this maybe becomes when relevant if auto-synching 2 devices as software needs to determine which of 2 files of meta data is the more "recent"
