Hmmm, you might be right. But I also think I might have two problems.

The lockup happened again in this way: I was at work and checking a manual on the Kindle - not plugged in - and when I was done I put it to sleep. When I got to a jobsite I tried to start it and it would not respond. At no time did I plug it in.

So, this last time it positively had nothing to do with the USB, but it is possible that in another instance it WAS the port that messed me up. Maybe, as you suggested, the firmware is misreading the battery level.

In any case, I have lost confidence on the device - not the Kindle, just the particular unit I have now.

I wanted to make sure that I was not the cause of the problem and now I am pretty sure the device is at fault and will be requesting a new one from Amazon as soon as I get back from my next trip to Chicago.

Thank you all for all your input.
