"OH, MY GOD, we have a new eBook Reader and it locks up". I tried the paper clip on reset. Worked, but soon after froze again. It was all low charge!

SO... do I maybe harp too much on recharging somewhat more often. Yes, I likely do. But I still say the advice works; and saves a ton of new end users from freaking like I did.
I agree that it is common (and good) advice that, when receiving a new rechargeable device, you should give it a good charge first time, and whenever a problem is experienced with electronics, the power supply is one of, if not the first thing to check.

...but we shouldn't go overboard
