I have to agree with Harry. The same thing happens when people pull the stem out of a watch to keep the battery from discharging. A battery is always discharging. Batteries work by a chemical reaction. Even if it is not connected the chemical reaction is still going on. Also, with watches, stopping the movement will allow lubricant to pool in places tit is not meant to. When the watch is started again there is less lubricant available and this creates additional wear on the parts. If my eBook stops holding a charge I am going to purchase a new one.
