Hmm. I think that's what I did on my previous Aura.

To get the meter calibrated you might want to let it run down pretty good with regular use before charging the first few times (preferably not to empty as that is "harder" on it -- harder in this case being pretty relative since you won't charge the battery on an e-reader anywhere near as often as a cell phone or something).

How accurate is the battery meter now? I remember my Aura giving me inaccurate readings (e.g. from 100% to 80% in ~20 minutes immediately after removing from the charger then it would decrease very, very, very slowly). I'm guessing the 100% charged status is not really 100% charged yet.
Now I wonder if I should completely charge it immediately after unboxing (like what is recommended on mobile phones) or I can already sideload books then use it and charge only when the battery gets pretty low.
