Device: Hanlin V3 (lBook r2) with OpenInkpot
I have an LBook (rebadged HanLin V3) and I generally charge it using the USB-to-mains adapter which came in the box... in fact I also need a European-to-UK plug adapter for that as well, it's a ridiculous stack of adapters there!

In any case, one of the annoying things is that there's no feedback for charging. When you plug it in to the power source the screen turns on (but remember, it draws no power just to display the screen) and then stays there doing nothing. The power light (top-left-corner, may be green, amber or red) doesn't do anything to display charging status. So I just left it charging for 14 hours, and when I unplugged it I had the full 4 bars in the battery icon.

And yeah, you can just plug it into your computer's USB port and select "Charge", and just leave it there for the same amount of time. A bit of feedback when it's fully charged would have gone a long way... Oh well, I have high hopes for OpenInkPot :^)
