The reader was well charged, I think 3 of 4 bars. So, I disconnected the reader and it worked well since then.
The only worry it gave me that if I am traveling and I don't have a laptop and this thing happens....I would be in a big trouble.
What if it happens during a long 10h flight?
Much as I love my reader and am doing the vast majority of my reading on it (when the authors I enjoy most are available for it!) I always travel with at least one paper book. Technology is great but always has that potential for problems, so I always have a paper book so I can keep reading should that most horrible of thinkable reader-crises occurs and my Sony Reader quits on me or suffers a fatal accident.
