So, the first I know that my PRS-T1 reader needs charging is when it dies.  This usually happens when I've just got into bed of an evening.  Because I'm almost always "in" a book, I never see the battery meter which is visible in the main menu area.

 

This is non-ideal.  I'd go as far as to say it's a bad design decision.

 

Is there planned a software update where a "battery low" indicator can be shown in-book when the battery drops below, say, 10% or something?

    Not that I know of - just make sure you check regularly, and recharge - with a wall charger preferably - when down to 1 bar, 2 at most.

     

    Checking regularly, say once/twice a week, the work of a few seconds really, isn't that much of a chore, surely?

    Just visit Home now and then, you won't lose your place .....

    Presumably not enough owners think it's enough of a problem, or a chore,  to worry about it ?

    I think yours is the first post I've seen on the subject .....
