It's a firmware bug.

All you have to do is, once it's finished charging (ie when the little light above the power switch goes off), turn the Reader on and, with it turned on, momentarily connect the cable from the wall charger. The battery meter will immediately jump to show 4 bars and will then read correctly (until next time you charge, at least).

I read about an hour a day and only need to recharge once every 3-4 weeks, so no big deal. Hopefully Sony will fix it at some point in a firmware update.
