Hi .... I'm new to the forums. Great info here. I have a PRS-600 and I have noticed that the power usage goes up when I have an SD card plugged in. Not a lot but it is noticeable. I'm a Linux nut and got the reader on Christmas day so immediately found Calibre ... cool. I love the reader and have probably read 25 novels on it already. I also noticed that a normal USB cable is all you need to charge it on a computer so if it runs short of juice while I'm on my way to work, I just hook it up to my computer at work while I'm doing other things.
