Yup, I am actually contemplating deleting all books on it and keeping just one single kepub while I figure this out.

Hmm, so at 60%, I powered it off. 30 minutes later, I turn it back on, and the battery is at 50%. This does not seem right at all to me.

My concern with the 24h charge was that the battery should not explode and kill the screen. But the good news is its not heating up at all, so MAYBE its not shorting out. I will power off and let it charge for 24h now and then report back after a few days of usage with a single kepub.
