Definitely not... full discharge starts to cause internal crystals to form which initially reduce capacity and eventually destroy the cell(s)... this is not anecdotal information, it's from the battery manufacturers... if you leave the unit unused then it's also recommended to turn it off fully with a half charge...

I'm really trying to get the best out of my reader.
