i noticed even if your battery is drained, when you hook up the AC power, the battery indicator goes to full, i wonder in that case, does the ereader get the power directly from AC (bypass the battery all together), which seems to be rational things to do. if that's the case, when we read at home and by the power, keep AC power hooked on means not using battery that will help prolong battery life?
just a thought :P

if it is just a few hundred then my reader must be almost dead since i have almost 200 recharges <everytime i plug it into usb> but it still works fine
i have a radio that also has recharge batteries and it has been recharged over a thousand times with no ill effects, ditto for my 4 year old cell phone, i should get a new one soon
