Cybook Battery Charge Before Loading
Hi, I'm new here. I just bought a Cybook Gen3 and love it already. I was working on files I had saved on the device, and reformatting others on my computer's hard-drive, when I notice that the device shut off (went to sleep), and had begun charging. I could no longer work with the memory.

So, since I just got it yesterday, and it was fully charged, and I hadn't really read anything yet, just played with some menus and stuff, I assume that the device begins charging even when it is partly discharged.

How long does it take to re-charge, when it is only partly discharged?
Will this happen everytime I connect the device to my computer?
Can I allow it to charge, and still access the memory?
Can I prevent it charging to access the memory - like when I'm in a hurry?

Also: I forgot to order the cover. Will a third party cover work, will the kindle or sony cover work? it's so expensive to order from France.

Also: I'm in Canada. Thanks eh!

Julie

It turns itself off if you don't press any key for some time, to save energy.
You can turn off this saving energy mode in Options somewhere.

the introduce yourself page is probably not the best place for advice on technical problems. there is a whole forum section devoted to the Cybook. The cover needs to be custom for the device, again it is covered in the Cybook forum.

Welcome to the mobileread community. Be sure and check the forums you are interested in.
