BobVA - sorry it's been so long to get back to you. These dang reader battery's just take forever to run out! Anyways, i let the battery go all the way down to almost nothing. Plugged in my blackberry USB charger overnight (looked like it was charging - but no red LED comes on). Checked the next morning, and it DID NOT actually charge it. So you are correct in that it only just changed the screen so that it looked like it was plugged in, but it did NOT actually charge.

Thanks for making me check, because i would have just brought along one charger traveling - would really suck to discover that it didn't charge on a trip!
