It takes a little more than a day. Keep 3G on and wake it periodically.
I was able to jail break to set sleep-screen and change system font, but I couldn't get USB networking to work. I reverted the fonts because I only use the DXG for testing compatibility of new ebooks.

It will access Shop front with the wrong date. The correct date is needed for Sync.
Even with date fixed many Https sites won't work due to lack of certs.

You are better using Download to PC, remove DRM using the serial number so as to have a backup, and copy via USB. You don't need sync / Cloud for collections for this model.
