Hi there, I got myself a iriver story and have been using it for about 4 days now.

Now this might seem like a silly question, but is the battery fully charged when it is dark or light? Common sense would suggest dark, but going by my device it's hard to tell. I can leave it charging overnight and unplug it, it will show three dark solid bars for a few hours of reading (no music or recording) then go straight to three light bars. If I then turn it off and on there are two dark and one light. And a couple of times it's claimed to have no battery and refused to turn back on, but if I plug the usb in for a couple of minutes it will say it's charged. It looks like it might need to go back.

Has anyone else experienced these kinds of issues?
