I've always used the AC charger, but I'm going to poke the reset button and put it on for a good long time and cross my fingers... I also pulled the memory stick since all my books currently fit into the internal memory. No reason to keep an empty stick in there draining some of the juice.

Thanks!

(Edit: one interesting thing that I noticed but forgot to mention in the first post... I had read about 300 pages, and dropped to 3/4 bars. Then for some reason I wanted to back up a bit in the book, and I clicked the back button a bunch of times--maybe 15-20? When it caught up to the inputs, the battery was down to 1/4 bars! Anyway, fingers crossed for a reset and recharge helping.)
