When connecting an eBook reader, the date that appears in the pop-up window for updating the last read date column seems to display the date in GMT time instead of the timezone of the eBook reader/computer. It's still July 8th here, and the date that appeared was July 9th. When it updated the column it adjusted for the timezone and showed July 8th though.
It's ages since I looked at this, but, I remember wrestling with the timezone for this and giving up. The problems revolve around working out the timezone the device uses, how the device handles timestamps (at least two formats) and how calibre handles timestamps. I think I decided to just show the raw value and let calibre handle that. But, I suppose it should show whatever is going to be shown in calibre after the store is finished. I'll have another look when I get a chance.

And for the record, I hate handling timezones. I always get it wrong the first time.
