Alright, something fishy is going on here. I think they sent me a lemon after all.

I was reading, then all of a sudden, I couldn't turn pages. Pressing the home button, reloading the book sometimes worked. Then "Please charge your e-reader". Uh oh.

I plugged it, in, no fewer than 10 seconds and it was "100% charged". Unplugged it, and it was down to 64%. Rebooted and it was 35% again... it can't seem to make up its mind.

I think the battery gets so "low" that it can't turn pages any more, and no battery warning too. This is frustrating...
