One of my biggest peeves or disappointments is losing access to my reader as soon as the USB is plugged into it in conjunction with a PC connection.

Here comes the wind up for this possibly idiotic question....

I load ebooks via the USB and charge with the wall charger. I am aware that one of the background functions the USB is to recharge the reader on connection (hence the nifty "DO NOT DISCONNECT (on pain of who knows what? Possible brickitudinal state?))!" messages.

So, here's my question:

Is it possible, and safe, to connect the reader to the wall charger and concurrently via the USB for book transfer without killing the reader? Will it cancel out the DO NOT Disconnect message?

My apologies if this is a pc cup-holder type question.
