GlowLight Plus Battery

I've had my Nook GlowLight Plus 7.8" reader for about 16 months now and have encountered my first issue.

Last night I finished reading a book and the battery was at 31%. Nothing unusual. I've often run it down to single digits. I plugged the Nook in to charge. Got up this morning and the light was green, but the Nook reports a charge of only 79%.

I powered it down, let it stay off for a few minutes and turned it on. Plugged it in to charge again. Two hours later the light is green again, yet it's still showing only 79% charged.

I'm using the original cable that came with the device, as I always do, and a Nook branded AC adapter. I now have it plugged into my computer, but it seems permanently stuck on 79%.

Wi-fi and Bluetooth are disabled, so they shouldn't be draining power.

Does this sound like my battery is shot?

----------

Update:

Looks like I solved my own problem. I had four library books loaded on my Nook. I deleted the one I finished and, for the heck of it, removed the other three. The Nook charged right up to 100%.

Is it possible for an ePub to actually prevent a device from fully charging?

I'm glad you got it sorted out. I've had similar issues with battery not fully charging (I don't think with a Nook, however). It usually ended up being a low wattage charger. (Obviously not the case here.)

Thanks! I don't recall having any device simply stop charging like this, while the indicator light shows a full charge. Definitely a weird experience.
