With the pulled firmware's battery indicator down a bar, the new firmware, 100324, just would not load. It would get to the 2 beeps, displays very very briefly that a firmware file has been found or something, then it would go to "hit any key to reboot".

Tried it with various SD cards. No go. Finally worked when I went thru the sequence with power plugged in thru the wall adaptor.

So I then noticed that with just that few minutes of charging, the battery indicator went to full, 4 bars. Yeah, no Coolreader for txt files. Bummer.

Okay, back to charging it. Now here's the odd part. After 4 hours, the blinking light goes from red to orange to solid green. And the lightning symbol went to a full 4 bars battery symbol. Hey! Where's the PLUG icon? Without interrupting the charge, it is now at 6 hours of straight charging, and still no plug icon. Just the usual full 4bars indicator.

So, I just powered it off. Goodbye screen (coffee cup upside down), and blank. Then it powered up by itself and the light is blinking orange and the lightning symbol at the bottom comes on. Guess it will be awhile before I know whether I see the plug or 4bars indicator. Odd that it will auto power on while charging.
