Any enlightenment for me? ;-)

Good questions.
I recall to see a limit or suggestion about leaving your device plugged all the time but I don't remember very well if that was in the manual or other site.
Having said that, I see no reason to leave your Kindle overnight in order to get a charge. Because the type of battery, it will not get memory or charge faster but I do not think over night charge will damage or break something. My advice would be if you are at home or planning to charge, just unplug when led turns green. That is what I do with my two Kindles and no issues so far.
Enjoy your Kindle and happy reading!
