Hi everyone, I purchased the PRS-300 recently and have been transferring ebooks to the reader almost daily. As the 300 does not have a memory card, there's no other way to transfer ebooks besides connecting the reader to my PC. However, this will invariably charge the reader even when the battery is almost full.

I'm curious to know if this constant charging will reduce the battery life of the reader. In addition, is it better to let the reader's battery charge to 100% every time it is connected to the PC, or is it ok to disconnect right after I finish transferring the ebooks?

Thanks in advance!
