I hope Mentor will have the same option and I will be able to read in bed while my ebook is connected to the charger. And the battery is important too. I'd love to be able to change the battery, you should have a package with additional battery & a charger that is just for the battery. My old Axim had that, and it came very handy. Admittedly, it could only go for about 10 hours on the charge, but with two batteries I could make it through the longest airplane trips.
And the problem with even 3 hour charging time is this - there is never a good time  . Sometimes I can go on without a book for an hour or two, but three is a no-no. Therefore - a spare and a charger for it would be the way to go . Keep up the good work, this is shaping up to be an excellent device.

Dear Dorota:
I thought they all did display while charging. Isn't it a little silly NOT to be able to plug in the device and use it if the battery is low?
We had 8 EZ Readers on all during the show letting people push every button on them and put them thru every test they could think of. This constant page up, page back, and jump pages wears out battery charges. So, we ran a charger to them when they got low and just kept displaying.
Also, we did not know what to expect from having the eight get manhamdled this way so we brought spares. I am happy to report that all eight never skipped a beat and the spares were never used. As I said from the first day I wrote on the EZ Reader... it is a workaholic and the perfect base machine.
Thank you,
