I'll take your word for it, I'm no software engineer

. It was just one of the potential date issues I recalled when I came across this thread and that it returned the Epoch date if the usual seconds instead of milliseconds assumed.

The reading device I use is a Samsung tablet, so the same manufacturer as the OP's device, but out of interest I copied some books onto a Sony phone and the same date issue occurs. Both are Android 7.0 OS.

The only, and not very good, comparison I can make is with Sony's Media Go; it is the only PC media management application I use that I know offhand explicitly states an MTP connection with devices when returning properties. It returns correct Created, Modified and Added Dates on both the devices mentioned above for media.

In the end it is not issue for me, I was just passing by, the only date sorting I do is on the device itself.
