Drezin · 01-05-2010, 09:24 AM

First, I have a question on the battery gauge of the 600. When the battery is full, it has four bars. Now, before it goes completely dead (shutting down while reading) will the battery display one bar or no bars? I like letting it get as low as possible sometimes, but I don't know when this occurs. Last night I sat flipping through pages trying to get that last bar to dissapear, but got bored after a few hundred flips with no result.

Second, and less importantly, did Sony put the magnet at the top right corner of the 600 there on purpose? It is great for putting the stylus in an easy-to-reach place. Or is it just a magnet created by the battery, and this a fluke that worked out? And, is there any reason I shouldn't be using the magnet to hold the stylus while reading (I don't see why, and the stylus holding-slot is in that very spot).
