- Driver will now attempt to calculate and use the UTC offset from the device, instead of assuming local time. This should reduce/eliminate the long rescans some people are seeing.

I wonder if it should assume local time or UTC when there are no books on the device at all though... I might have to play with the reader software and see what it does to the database (if anything). It'd be easier to test that situation if I had a second reader I could just factory reset without losing all my current reading progress.
How do we get this patch? Or will it be in a new version of calibre? Sorry if that's a silly question.
