Hello,

Using Calibre version 4.15 to export book files and metadata to 'device' always results in the device date column showing '31 Dec 1970'. Calibre always shows the time the book was first loaded into the calibre library.

The clock time on the device and computer are correct and synchronized with NTP.

So the question I have is where is the timestamp data shown in the 'Date' column of the 'device view coming from the clock on the computer Calibre is installed or the clock on the device? Both should show the same time as both are reporting the correct (identical) network time...

Thanks for any help or suggestions
