THe CPU in the Sony Portable Reader has a built in Real Time Clock complete with alarm clock and a 1 minute interrupt ability that could be used to wake it up and update the clock on the screen.
The entire UI philosophy of the Reader involves minimising the number of screen refreshes, because it's screen redraws which use power. Would you really want unnecessary refreshes for a clock? Personally, if I want to know the time, I look at my watch!
