Hi Watney. Did you find a solution?
Your problem sounds very much like mine. For me, it actually does charge after many hours, but I not only have to start it up again (it stays stuck in "Please charge.." screen even after unplugging cable), but it tells me the battery is at 1%, and I need to disconnect the battery from the motherboard, and re-connect, and only then will it show the correct battery percentage. Battery itself seems fine, and only dropped 1% after a few hours reading.
I just got my unit 2 days ago, used from an ebay seller in US/Canada, and they have offered a refund if the problem cannot be resolved, but it would involve me shipping it all the way back to them (am in Malaysia), and then trying to find another e-reader, and another agonising 3-4 weeks wait! Also, not much market for e-readers here and everyone just gets them from overseas. So a fix would be great!
