To answer your questions...

I am not sure which firmware update I have. I think it is the most recent one, which only came out a few weeks ago.

How quickly is the battery draining? I am not sure how to quantify this...because I have not kept track. I just know that for the amount of reading I have been doing lately, it is loosing battery quickly. I'll put it this way. Theoretically you should be able to read through the NIV Bible nearly twice on a single battery charge, and I have only been fairly lightly reading and am already down at least have a charge... So something is amiss.

The thing that concerns is that if the meter is wrong and I just charge my batter when it empties, I don't want to ruin the battery by wrongful charging...

I guess I got the Reader (which I do love) expecting to be able to read through book after book after book without recharging and it just does not feel like that is the case.
