Since my post, my Pocket Pro has been behaving very well. It's still running on the same charge I gave it on September 17th, when I made the aformentioned post. The only thing I'm doing differently since then is that I've stopped leaving the Pocket Pro turned on all the time. This was (and still is) my standard operating procedure when using my 6" EZReader, but with the Pocket Pro it resulted in a drained battery for some reason.

Perhaps now that my Pro's battery has cycled a couple of times its controller is handling the charge better. I don't know. I'm afraid to experiment by letting it drain down all the way again due to the difficulty I had in recovering functionality the last time this happened. if anybody leaves their Pro on all the time, I'm curious as to how that's working out for you.

Anyway, I'm happy with it now. As far as I'm concerned everything's OK and I have no plans to send it back. I do not regret my purchase, and would do it again. The problems I had can probably be attributed to my own asshattery.

I got the black case, and it's flawless, eighteen days after receipt, so no problems there. It's actually more of a matte dark charcoal. Very attractive shade, I think.
I've yet to get mine, but after reading the documentation etc could the mp3 player be running in the background?
