Hi guys! I tried a bit of searching but unfortunately couldn'd find anything related to my issue

Half an hour ago I received my first ebook reader, that being the Amazon Kindle 3. I was so happy about that that I just turned it on right out of the box and set up some settings and connected it to my home wlan.

Now as I am reading about Kindles on the internet, people say you really should fully charge it first time before turning it on. And I didn't.

So the question is, will I be getting problems with the battery dying too quickly or something? What are the consequences of my undoubtfully foolish behavior?

I now plugged it in into my notebook and left it to charge. I live in Europe and the US adapter won't fit into my wall outlet and I don't have any converters at home right now and it's late here now so the stores are already closed. I heard wall outlet is preferable to USB charging.
