I have heard that if you plug an ereader into the USB port of a laptop computer when the laptop is *turned off*, that it will drain the ereader battery. I've never done it, so I can't be sure.

And I know my laptop has *one* (out of four) USB ports that's "always on", so you need to verify if yours has one or not, too.
