Hya Pete: I had many problems with a Sony PRS-505 early last year. On advice here (from Harry, as I recall), I got myself a mains charger. Never had a single hiccup of any kind since. Seems to me that charging via USB to the PC or laptop doesn't hack the job properly, and that no matter what the battery-charge icon on your reader might suggest, you're running on minimal power. I'm in France and got the charger online, so it wasn't as cheap as you'll find it in a local brick and mortar store in Manch. Good luck. Neil
