It is the oldest 6" EZReader I've seen, from 2008 according to the info screen.
Since I have a choice of f/w versions from the spare I got some months ago, I'll consider upgrading it to newer f/w at some point after checking to see that it works normally & holds a charge.
If it does turn out to be bad somehow though - that'll be OK as it'll be spare parts to keep around in case there is breakage.
Thanks !

A full charge
can take 14 HOURS using the high current USB type charger (not a USB port on a computer).
IIRC the 6" uses a common cell phone battery (unlike the 5" which has a custom battery, w/lead )
I am not sure about the Chirping. That could be the CPU waking up (and sounding LOW Battery, LOW Battery
) as the battery voltage got near operational range.
