You could do what I do with my Cowon. I use it until I can't turn it on, then I plug it in. <grin>

I have never been able to figure out how accurate those numbers are on any of these battery systems. My Book Sense will usually quickly drop to 9 when I am reading, but holds there for quite a while. Now my cell phone will give me 7 bars of power for an indefinite period of time and then, drops very suddenly. I just routinely put things on chargers after so much time. My Book Sense goes on its charger at night when I am reading, and I use it on battery during the day if I am reading.

That logic makes sense, but unlike others here, my unit seems to err on the high side. I had been reading for a bit over a half hour today and my battery was still at ten.

    This really makes sense if you think about it. 10 means 100%. The
    very second you use any power at all, you're no longer at 100%,
    and therefore, no longer at 10. 9 is much more realistic. It means
    anywhere from 90% to 99%.

    ok, I'll chime in too -- my booksense also charges to 10, but it doesn't

    stay there very long, IMO

    I've had my booksense almost a year and mine always goes to 10 when I charge

    it.

        You know, I've had my BookSense for 4 months and I've only had the 
battery

        go to 10 once and it was two nights ago when I plugged it into the USB 
on

        my

        computer.  I've charged my BS all night plugged into the wall and the

        higher

        it's ever gotten was 9.  I've had hours and hours of reading without

        charging and it's been perfect, but I'm sort of curious about this as

        well.

            No matter how long I charge my Booksense--two weeks was my last

            try--the battery level is reported to be 9, never 10.  I removed the

            battery to reset the unit, thinking that something--well--needed to

            be reset.  Now, off the charger for ten minutes, the battery level

            instead of being 9 is 8.  Is there a way to correct this???

            thanks for any suggestions.
