I have only had my ebook reader for a few days and have been impressed at how much quicker and easier it is to load content than it was with my departed eBookwise. I find that every day or so, there are a few things I want to add---from here, or from elsewhere. What I was worried about was whether it is bad for the battery to plug the device in if I am not charging it (I have never done that as it came charged on full). If I plug it into my computer for five minutes every day to transfer content, and then safely unplug it, is this bad for the battery or for the device? Is it better to stockpile stuff for a few days and add it all at once, less frequently?
