On the Cybook there is a similar "work around" which involves copying a text file containing the date into a specific directory. There are other possible approaches, for example you could use the file creation date to reset the clock if it is more recent that the current system date (this takes advantage of the clock on your desktop PC which sets the date when the file is copied to the device).
Thank you!! Your tip is going directly to our head tech to try to implement!!
Great Help!!
