I fully charged my PRS-600 yesterday morning (the charge light had gone out). I unplugged it and turned it off with switch on the top (not a full powerdown). A few hours later it was down to 1 bar.

There were a few light manuals on top of it, and I have noticed that the Proports leather case does seem to press on the buttons when it is closed. Is it possible that the button presses were still registering and making it think? The book hadn't advanced beyond the page I left it on though.

Very mysterious?

The charge was via USB (which I don't normally do) but it was connected for several hours to charge fully.
