I recently got a new PRS-600 that was on sale at a reasonable price and I just wanted to know a few things about it that I couldn't really find. I did notice when I charged it using USB for the first time the light was red for 5 minutes, booted and then once it got up shutdown. It did it twice until I got enough juice but it seems to be charging fine. Has this happened to anyone else?

I heard that the screen had a poor contrast ratio and a lot of glare. While the one I have has a glare the contrast doesn't seem to be too bad. A lot better than the one in the store.

Overall I think I'm going to like the device and I hope it serves me well.

P.S.: I also heard that people used the Sony PSP charger which I have, but knowing the finicky nature of Li-Ion charging and that some AC adapters tend to work better on their host device, I'm still a bit hesitant on using a 5.0V volt source on a 5.2V plug. Just throwing it out there.
