I have to say this battery thing is driving me nuts. I understand the whole trick of unplugging it when it's charged and then plugging it in for a second after you turn the Reader on. However, that ONLY works if you use the AC adapter. When using USB, this doesn't work at all since the Reader goes into its "Do not disconnect" mode. I discovered this after charging my wife's Reader:
It had one bar left of charge. I did a full charge via a USB cord to my computer until the red charge light went out. I unplugged the Reader and it still displayed one bar. I plugged the USB cord back in while the Reader was on and then unplugged it. STILL one bar of charge showing.
The solution? Soft reset.
Hardly an attractive fix now, is it, having to find something to poke into the back of your Reader while bending the cover back. Not pleased at all.
