The first time I charged the Libre, it had a picture of a full battery on the front when I went to unplug it. The battery lasted awhile, but the gauge on it was showing three bars when I suddenly got the low battery warning.

Last night I plugged it in (to the wall) before I went to bed (it gave me the warning to plug it in even though it still had three bars) and this morning, it did not have the picture of the full battery on the front. I unplugged it anyway; it's working, but is only showing three bars.

Do I have a defective unit here? I really like that I can add content to this reader using just an SD card, but I still have a few more days of return time left (the store I bought it from has a 30-day return policy). I am tempted to return it for an on-sale Sony Pocket, but then I would not be able to add content on the fly with the SD card...

Should I exchange it for a Sony? For a new Libre? Or is everything fine?
