You can charge at any time. Based on the type of battery it is supposed to be best to charge when there is around 25% still left.

There is no overcharging that I know of. Somewhere I’d read that it’s best to stop charging around 90% but no idea if that’s valid.

Internet service is only needed when downloading. You can also download via PC and transfer.

While reading you do not need cell service.

Yes, a book can be deleted from your eReader once it has been read.

I’m thinking of buying my first e-reader, but need a little more information about them. First, once the book has been downloaded, do I still need internet service to access and read it. I have limited cell service where I live. Also, once a book has been read, can it be deleted off of the e-reader permanently?
Thanks

Discuss this with an academic librarian, one who knows copyright issues and usage issues. If it works out you could place the Kindles in your school library for check out or use in library only. Place a high fine if a Kindle isn’t returned.

Check out the website called I Love Cabbages ( [Link removed since it has DRM removal - just do a search] ). DRM can be removed and then using Calibre you can convert it to most formats. I remove the DRM and convert ebooks into various formats all the time.

Bought a kindle 3 less than a week ago, had some technical difficulties with it. I called customer service at almost 3 am in San Francisco, expecting to get a computer telling me to call back during business hours. Got a human being, an irishman in Cork, thats was fine. In two minutes he had solved my problems, new Kindle will be here in a couple of days. Why oh why cant everyones customer service be like this, smart human being on the line at 3 am, no bull, just “sorry sir, what can we do to help?” Full marks to Amazon customer service.

We purchased the Kindle 3 free 3G + Wi-Fi at Target. I noticed in the settings page under “wireless capability”, our Kindle displayed “Wi-Fi” only. The Kindle would not connect any other way (ie. 3G). Called Amazon to see if an update may be needed. I was transferred from the regular customer service to a “specialist”. He confirmed that a $139 Wi-Fi Kindle 3 had been packaged with the outer packaging sleeve of the $189 free 3G + Wi-Fi Kindle 3. He suggested returning to Target for replacement. Target is sold out, but informed us they have been hearing more about this problem. It appears it is NOT an isolated problem. The customer service “specialist” instructed me to check the serial number to identify the version:

B008……. is the Wi-Fi only model
B006……. is the free 3G + Wi-Fi model

Buyer Beware, Amazon is doing nothing to rectify this issue until they notice it is a problem by “seeing enough returns to them”.
