Ok, let me explain what I mean:
Charging the
PRS300 was never a problem. The reader has
two connectors. The round one (non USB) is working with nearly every charger.
My PRS350 just has the USB-connector. Problem is:
1)
Charging over the USB isn't always that simple. A lot of chargers, even with USB-connector aren't able to do the job. Whatever the reason is, the PRS350 (and 650 I guess) refuses very often beeing charged by various chargers.
And worse: even when the reader says "chagring", you cannot be shure that that is right.
So I wasnt't able to refill the battery with two different solar chargers and 2 different wall chargers in my hollidays. Loading the PRS 300 using the round (non USB) connector with the same chargers was no problem at all.
I got really angry when the 350 gave up after one week reading, having 4 different chargers and not able to continue reading.
2) There are rumors that
battery degrades every charge done. So, when loading your ereader say every day with new content (for example newspaper) you degrade battery with every load cycle. Once a day.
But besides: With
WiFi you don't have that problem for you can load content on the reader without starting a new load cycle.
