So...

I purchased my Glo in December of 2012. It was my primary reader through June of 2015. I do turn it on every now and than, I probably turned it on once in the last year.

Thursday night I tried to turn it on. The screen was stuck on "your battery is below 10%, ..." ; when I initially tried to turn it on, nothing happened; I had to plug it in to get to the home screen. I left it plugged in overnight.

Friday morning it was 100%. I did some stuff with Calibre to take some books off and put a book on.
I read during the day for about 2.5 hours. Before I went to sleep it was at 96%.

Saturday morning it was at 96%.

To be continued...
