As an Aura H20 owner who uses the eReader where it cannot be charged (e.g. public transport), I want a very visible reminder to recharge my battery when it's sleeping, so that I notice it when I'm at home and remember to charge it before it's next needed.

Currently, it shows a tiny line of text above the front cover image when charging is required. This is almost pointless as it is not noticeable.

A more helpful solution would be, at its simplest, just drop the front cover entirely when battery is <=10% and put "CHARGE ME" across the screen in as big a font as will fit, or for a prettier approach cut out the middle of the cover image to insert this message, again as large as possible.

Thanks!
