Can we trust on the light indicator? Mine used to turn green when fully charge. Maybe my Kindle is getting old? lol ...
One of my pet peeves about the Kindle (which I otherwise totally love!) is, unlike most other personal electronics that I have, the battery charging symbol never changes from the "lightening bolt" icon once the battery is fully charged. Seems to me it should switch to something else (i.e. a wall plug or something similar) to indicate that charging is complete.
