On advice here, I picked up a mains charger and have never had a single problem since. It seems that battery-meters on readers can sometimes be overly optimistic, showing a full charge when, in fact, the device is actually very low on the power necessary to do its job properly. Have you tried a mains charge? Good luck. Neil

Hah! I like that overly optimistic!
It is also good to know how the machine measures "pages turns".
So far I would say it lasts me about 4 decent length books (over 300 pages) on an overnight charge.
I think that its charging light still is not working correctly, because I believe it is supposed to show green when the charge is full? After an overnight charge mine is still red.
Amazons Gomadic Cool-er supplies
I had assumed, because e-ink is supposed to not use much power, that its charge would last longer than my little EB1550 since it has a back lit LCD screen.
I think I saw a wall charger on amazon for the Cool-er I will have to check out getting one.

PS I checked Amazon and apparently there is more than one Cool-er cover available these days!
