Charging my Nook Simple Touch?

[Virgorising]

Hi.

Way back, I IMed someone at Barnes & Noble about this, but never got a definitive answer.

I love my Nook despite its battery can not be replaced. So, what is the best strategy for keeping the battery healthy and long lived?

I only use the Nook on WiFi when I get books. Saves the batt.

Do I charge the unit when the battery gets to a certain point? Do I let the batt drain almost completely and then charge it?

Is there any downside to letting it get to say 60% and then charge it?

You can see I need good input on this.

Thanks!

Have a Nook w/ glow light, always let it get down to around 5%, (which takes about a month) and charge it then.
Never had a problem with the battery.

Thanks much for this. I never let my batt get down to under 40% before I charge it back up. However silly, it made me nervous to.

Now....I will!!!

Edit: BTW, I do know that the batts in the first generation Nook were/are replaceable, I think they last less long than the generation I have. But, I read online some people keep the early ones just cause they can replace the batts.

But not replaceable batt is the only downside to mine I think.

I am going to assume the above advice: to let Nook batt go down to just before the device shuts off, is the right strategy and embrace that.....cause nobody else said otherwise.

Right?
