All,

I just had the same problem -- got the low battery, plugged it in to USB on computer with the intent to charge enough to read before bed. Stopped the device, the screen froze with the thinking symbol. Eventually, I got it to shut off, then it wouldn't turn back on to continue the full charge! I hooked it up to the computer USB once again, but no red light. Hit the reset button, and BINGO -- red light immediately appeared. Guess I'll leave it plugged in over night to get a full charge!

I do have to say, I've been pleased with the PRS-300 until tonight! I can usually read 3 full 250-300 page books before it needs to be recharged. Hm, guess I'll have to pay more attention to the battery symbols!
