Yep, LiIon batteries still store better than NiMH etc, and I am storing my spares in a cool place about 80% charged - and cycle the battery every 4-6 months

I also agree with the post above, about not needing dictionary and annotations. I use my ereaders as I use paper books - for reading Although English is my third language I rarely encounter a word I don't know. And using a dictionary disrupts the flow of reading.
