Hello everyone, this is my first post!

I got the PRS 300 for Christmas and had to return it last week because it froze on the 'Opening Book' screen. It was still at full power after a week of use. I've got a replacement and I charged it through the usb overnight as I don't have a mains charger yet. I noticed that it lost two bars of power yesterday and wondered was this unusual? I thought the battery lasted around three weeks?

Also wondering is it ok to charge it before the battery runs out - I heard that with mobile phones you're not meant to charge them too much if there's power still in them and thought it might be the case with this sort of device?
