I'm frightened about receiving a second defective unit, as others has happened. I cross my fingers.

Indeed. I'm still not trusting my replacement Glo exactly because of this. Every little battery change I find myself mistrusting it more. I had it plugged in a lot on the first day so tiny bits of charging. When I stopped the % was around 64. It slept overnight and it was at 58% in the morning... then 53% in the evening... Next day it was still around 53% but dropped to 30% and then to "please charge battery" sometime in the evening. So 2.5 days on 64%. Of course, it's the first charge and no cycles have taken place to calibrate the meter... but still. It doesn't seem promising. In fact, how could SO many devices have bad batteries?! It should be the firmware. But then, why doesn't everyone have this problem?

Thanks and good luck with the olde fashioned ways! I hope you get a perfectly working battery with 35 days worth of sleep and reading.
