The Kindles have a fairly sophisticated battery management system. *
So go by what it is advising you to do -
If at or near 100% - stop charging **
If at or near 000% - start charging
The electronics has already taken 'best practice' into account when it computes the picture to show you.
(*) Not nearly as sophisticated as the one in your hybrid car, where batteries cost $10,000+ each. But still, a pretty good one for a consumer device.
(**) And if your still concerned about it overcharging, dump the messages by entering:
;dm
(the semi-colon is part of the command) in the search bar of the home screen.
And look through the system messages that appear on the Kindle as a result.
There you will find the charger is cycling on and off to avoid over-charging.
The messages usually include the actual battery capacity now, not when the label was printed on the outside.
