Here's my issue: I've got the Kindle connected to my PC via the USB cable (but I'm not in USB mode; I'm able to read & charge). The battery symbol shows that's charging (lightening bolt inside the battery symbol), but my power switch is green. Is this normal? And what should I believe - the green light or the battery symbol?

Thanks for any inputs.
Don't trust the LED light or the battery meter until you've gone through several recharge cycles. Do at least one full three hour charge to the main. By skipping that step I encountered some unnecessary problems.
