Could somebody PM to me the right image file?

My wife has a N647 model that currently has v1.9 firmware dated March 29, 2011. Does that model run different firmware, and if so, will it get trashed the moment it gets a forced update to 1.9.12?
I have just seen a claim that the wrong time on the device can cause the no books problem. The claim was that the WiFi can reset the time to a default (I assume 1970) and won't show books from what it considers to be the future. If this is booting, can you check the time?
