My K2 (an old pre-international version) has a small light near the microUSB connector on the bottom which turns green when the unit is being charged. Doesn't the new K2 have that light?

BTW I've never taken my charger along with me on any trips shorter than a week. The battery usually lasts over 10 days and I use the reader every day for at least two or three hours. On longer trips I do carry the USB cord so I can move new books onto the reader from my laptop. I carry the laptop on longer trips since I like to read e-mail and check my finances on my own secure machine.
