I have had the prs600 since Christmas. In six weeks of use, the battery will not fully charge and lasts only about 2 hours per charge. I bought the external adapter ($29.95 + tax) hoping that it would improve the charge but it made no difference over charging through the USB port. The controls have become sluggish or only work after multiple tries which I attribute to the sluggish battery. You can use the reader when plugged into the adapter but this defeats the purpose of a portable device and does not improve the sluggishness of the controls.
