Very disappointing as it is a good reader, but disapointing to see it is happening to other people.
Dear Rock:

The battery on the Pocket PRO is a good one. It should give you weeks of reading before needing a recharge. That being said... it is possible to get a bad battery.

Are you positive that you are charging correctly? People often press the "OK" button instead of any other key. Pressing the OK button will not start charging.

I know you are bright and conscientious. BUT... let us start with the basics. Have you read "how to charge" on the FAQ sheet? The FAQ sheet is at: www.theEZreader.com/html under "support".

Are you seeing the lightning bolt when you charge?

Are you seeing the blinking red/orange light when you charge?

If you start charging and turn the device fully off... do you see a very large lightning bolt?

If the device is off when you start the charging does the device turn itself "on" automatically?

Once you see the blinking red/orange light do you charge for 10-12 hours?

When you see thye green light do you continue to charge another 2 hours?

All of this can tell us something to help you.
