Both Amazon’s Kindle and Kobo’s e‑reading devices are experiencing an automatic time‑zone error that affects users residing in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
The issue causes the devices to display an incorrect local time, potentially disrupting scheduled reading sessions, alarms, and time‑stamped notes.
The problem was highlighted in a Good e‑Reader article published on 1 November 2026, which noted that the bug appears to be linked to the devices’ automatic time‑zone detection feature.
No official comment from Amazon or Kobo has been released at the time of writing, and the report does not specify whether a software update is planned to resolve the fault.
Owners of Kindle or Kobo e‑readers in British Columbia are advised to manually adjust the time zone settings until a fix is provided.
