So, if I understand this correctly, the Sony's PRS-600 battery will die after 300-400 charge-discharge cycles.

Does it mean that every time I connect/disconnect the device to the computer via USB cable, I start new charge-discharge cycle? So if I use Calibre to download newspaper feeds and connect the PRS-600 to the computer every morning to copy those feeds to the device (which means I connect/disconnect it at least once a day), will the battery die in approx. 1 year?

If I connect/disconnect the device 2 times a day, will the battery die in 6 month?

(Horror: if some day I connect/disconnect 300 times, will the battery die next morning?)
