This isn't Adobe's problem. It is just using the standard date from the operating system, and Linux is perfectly capable of running a clock. The Hanlin's firmware does not have an accurate clock (or perhaps no clock advance at all) because it wants to turn it off when it sleeps. I think OpenInkPot is running a clock on the same hardware, but I'm not certain of this. In any case, there is no need to have an accurate clock to support lending library ebooks. All you need is a way to set the time, see post #2722. This definitely works for MOBI ebooks and probably works for Adobe as well. With this approach, you have to manually set the time every time you power up the device, but there is rarely a reason to turn off a Hanlin.
