Ok, not specifically related to 1.9.17 cause I noticed it on 1.9.16 just before the new firmware came out... but how long has the clock been borked?
I was adding a bunch of new stuff with Calibre and noticed (this is still on 1.9.16) that the clock and date were wrong. "No Biggie" I thought, daylight savings time the week before, leap year this year, maybe it was never correctly set... So I set it. The next day it was something like 10 hours off.
And when I updated to 1.9.17 over WiFi it sync'd the clock to the correct time.
I just looked and since then the clock has managed to fall 3.5 days behind.
Is this normal? I really don't care about the clock at all but why am I wasting processor cycles and battery (minimal as the clock's demands may be) on something that doesn't even work?
And I'm not too sure what this says about Kobo as a company...seriously...the Touch has been out for about 10 months now and I'm still putting up with double-taps and the occasional triple-tap and a clock that can't keep time.
These are small things, but still, would I recommend a Touch to a friend looking for an eReader? "Oh you know, sometimes you have to hit the screen a few extra times to turn the page....and umm... the clock, well it doesn't keep accurate time...but on the whole the Touch is adequate."
That sort is of how it would go.
