Always recharge when the battery life meter shows a little below half. Meters are never very exact and doing it this way has worked wonderfully for me!!

Good to know. One of the main reasons I got it was because I commute 4 hours a day, give or take, on trains and buses. I was sick of mis-estimating when I'd finish books. So, running out of power would annoy me. Although the instructions said to fully discharge and fully charge the battery the first 3 or so cycles.
I'm going to a library vendor conference with a heavy technical component in March. One of my librarians has a couple different e-readers, so we're going to round up a few more friends with e-readers, and do a BOF in the bar one evening. Let folks play with them, answer questions, stuff like that. Very informal. Should be fun, and it is hard to drop serious money on a device you've never gotten to fondle. Lot of interest in e-readers among library technical staff.
Word of mouth is slow, but once it reaches a certain critical mass, it is danged near unstoppable.
