I had it charge for a LONG time yesterday and I am plugging it in here at work now again. Maybe the battery was completely dead even though my indicator shows full.
Now it got to a page, but still not doing anything, I am really thinking maybe the battery was seriously dead and needs a 15 hour charge.
Also side note: Chariots of the Gods? is very interesting so far, to have those type of ideas in 1968, in the middle of the space race, and to get some predictions of what space travel will be like in 20 years almost accurate (although some is way off so far, but only 3rd chapter in) is impressive.

Dear Rock:
Actually, when we opened our Astak eBook Store (
www.EZread.com) we did a very thorough look at pricing. We included Amazon. Most of our titles are as low or lower than Amazon. You may want to take a peek. O fcourse, the new Agency Model from five of the largest publishers sets the price and so every eBook from those five publishers will ultimately be the same. Amazon's eBook DRM is Mobipocket where we feel there is much more to like with Adobe Dogital Edition's EPUB. Plus EPUB will give you 9 font sizes and Text-To-Speech on our devices!
You are right about Chariots of the Gods. A great book. Did you know that there is a separate thread today on here announcing
Interactivity where you can interact with the our eBook Specialist and get book reviews and talk about your favorite eBooks and such?
About your battery, using the Pocket PRO or EZ Reader with a low battery causes all sorts of problems. I TRY to warn all not to let the battery get much lower than half on the Battery Charge Life indicator without recharging. I have seen where the device can really act gruesome on too low of a charge. It goes from user-friendly to rebellious. Read the FAQ sheet on
www.theEZread.com/html under "support". That will tell you how to charge and monitor and ensure that it is indeed charging correctly. ALWAYS charge about two hours past where you get the green light. Green means "the start of FULL" and is not Totally Full (kind of like the gas gauge on your car).
