Just as you were replying I looked for the last book I was reading before connecting the usb.

Heidegger's Glasses. The MBP file created (is that the sync file) has the time way ahead at: 3:31PM today, Mar 3, and I can assure you that the pacific northWET is still only 8am.

So, I guess that, at least, my k3, is living in a different timezone than its owner, me.

As I mentioned, in the sync thread. I had noticed this in the past but never looked at it that carefully. I don't know if it is always ahead or just sometimes. The k3 does show the correct time when I press Menu. (yes, at times, it has had the wrong time and I correct it manually).

I will disconnect usb and do a sync (I don't read on other devices so sync is not an issue I really worry about.)

How I noticed this in the first place was doing some backups of the k3 and I had noticed that some files were showing times ahead of real time or even dates, if I did this later in the evening. I reflected on it briefly but since the files were being backed up and I had copies, I did not really worry about the issue.
