After moping around last night, here's my new feature request:
I need to charge the battery faster. My current Gen3 ran out of juice in the middle of the book, and it took all evening for the battery to recharge. I'd like one of two sorta solutions:
1. Make the battery more easily replaced AND make an "off-line" charger for extra batteries
OR
2. Make a "Fast" charger that will recharge the battery in one hour or less. This would probably require a recharge method other than USB, but I don't know how difficult it would be to have parallel charging mechanisms.
hmm. I suppose one and two could be combined by allowing the fast recharger to ONLY work on the battery when disconnected from the reader.
3. Another solution might work if the form factor was changed to have a thicker body, like the ebookwise. Then you could use AA batteries or even dual batteries. If the device could use either the embedded lithium battery or a replaceable AA battery, then one could keep reading as long as the box of AA batteries from Costco lasted.
4. Change the charging method to allow reading and operation while the device recharges. Gen3 currently locks out any operation while the USB cable is connected to either computer or charger.
One way or another, I want to resume reading faster than currently available with my Gen3. With my older Rocket (precursor to the ebookwise) I could at least keep reading when it was on the charging cradle!
