Dear Irenas:
If you have it plugged into your PC via USB it will actually charge the battery and should not run it down. Don't let people scare you. Firmware Upgrades take about 3-5 minutes in total and are NOT a big drain anyway on the battery. Unless you are downloading the entire library of congress... you should be able to purchase and load 20 eBooks in far less than an hour. It is almost instantaneous. I once talked a reviewer through how to download a free eBook he wanted in less than 2 minutes. He was amazed! He had no idea!
BUT... if you are going to buy eBooks or look for free eBooks wait!!! There is a special website being readied right now and EVERY book on it (1.2 MILLION) are perfect for the Pocket PRO. No worries about format. If you see it on there... you can safely just get it!!
