I have had two occurrences of being in low battery (one square left, so not completely empty) and, after pluging the PRS to a USB port of a powered computer, after a few hours I find the reader completely empty (barely able to power up, saying "no battery" at the bottom of the screen and no squares in the battery metter).

Also the red light of charge never lits when plugging the reader to the USB. The AC charger works as always.

Anyone noticed something similar? Could it be that the reader is already too empty to allow charge from USB or am I witnessing a new bug?
