I was looking at the V8 manual on Jinke's site (
link) -- it's rather techy about refreshing the images on some pages for some reason, but I was able to bang on it a bit and actually read about 6 of the 14 pages.
I ran across a few interesting items in it on page 3:
The first is a mention and diagram of a "copyright card." I'm wondering what that's about. I don't suppose Maple is still monitoring this thread, but perhaps he's still out there and might explain a bit more.
The second is mention of the fact that you can can charge the batt in ~3 hours (unsurprising, as it's a standard cell phone battery, but good to know).
The third is that you can charge said battery from a USB connection (in addition to the standard wall-brick type charger).
That would be nice, not having to carry a charger for your e-reader if you've got your laptop along, or you're going somewhere where you'll have access to a 'puter with a USB port....
Of course, not having to charge the rascal for a week or two at a time would be best, but I'm the sort that will always carry a charger for the 'tronix I take with me on a trip of any length. Just compulsive that way, I suppose.
