It's your local carriers that turned off 3G, though Amazon disabled Store Access etc.

I still have EDGE here and sometimes 3G, so after 4 to 20 hours the DXG resets the time & date. I did jailbreak it so as to have the current book as sleep screen, but I didn't figure out USB Networking. I might look at that again if the mobile (cell) is gone, but as the Electricity Smart Meters and some traffic lights and alarms systems use EDGE (2G) & 3G it won't be soon in Ireland.

USB Networking lets you set the time & date. Otherwise it's 1970 anytime battery goes flat!


Save up for an 8" Kobo Sage or a 7" Paperwhite. Both HUGELY better. Even a S/H Paperwhite 3 or Kobo Libra is far far better.
