I'm not complaining at all just a new Kindle user wanting some information please. I just had it for a week and wanted to hear from others to make sure it's not defective.

My only experience is with my old reader which got cranky like that when the battery was low due to buggy firmware you could not trust the battery gauge on the reader so I was asking if anyone else's reader got cranky like that and what it meant. I decided to charge it to see if that fixes the problem to confirm if it's a low battery or not.

It was acting very slow as well all of sudden besides blacker page turns, letter from previous pages faintly showing on the next page. On my older reader it did this when the battery was low so I just assume maybe the Kindle acts the same but from your posts it sounds like it works more like a netbook type battery then my previous reader acted just cranky when the battery was low.

Which brings me to next question. Will it shorten the battery life to not let the battery run down before charging it? On my older reader they told us to never let the battery go past two bars before charging. When it the best time to charge the Kindle?
