It doesn't agree with what I've been taught and have read concerning current battery maintenance. I didn't think it was possible to "overcharge" a healthy battery in a device that was working correctly.

I see other errors in the article too. Kindle Paperwhites aren't backlit for on thing.

Plugging a Kindle into a computer isn't how you transfer books, unless you've chosen that option to begin with. The article says that will save battery power over using WiFi transfer. It takes literally a few seconds to download a book over WiFi. Plugging into USB port, which causes the device to go into usb mode, then ejecting the Kindle to exit usb mode I'm guessing would require more battery power. Not to mention unnecessary wear and tear on the micro usb port on the Kindle.

They also suggest "shutting it down completely for a more responsive restart."

Whoever wrote the article knows very little about using a Kindle.
