sorry guys... I'm a bit confused. Does the Reader start playing on its own? Or are you just weirded out by the pause, no stop, and play as soon as you view a file?

regarding batteries... battery indicators are always imprecise and can be thrown off by charging patterns. If you always keep the Reader fully charged, for example, the indicator might lose sight of perspective and think its battery is low when it isn't. This adjustment is a necessary feature because batteries change properties over their lifetimes. Although lithium batteries are better off never being drained comletely, you might want to run an experiment to see where the bottom really is.

If there is a bug somewhere, however, it is likely in the software getting hung up on thinking about something for way too long and draining the battery that way. There's a lot it could be thinking about besides mp3s.
