[Reader-users] Difference in Readers and Recalibration

[Cindy Handel]

Well, as far as I can tell, from reading about the Reader models, over the 
past year and a half or so, there are very few differences in the two 
models.  The functionality is exactly the same.  The buttons are positioned 
a little differently, but that makes no difference in the operation of the 
Stream.  The only major difference, if you consider it to be a big problem, 
is the fact that model A does have to be recalibrated if you allow the 
battery to discharge far enough that it goes to zero and the Reader will not 
turn on.

I've had my model A Reader since May of 2006 and have *NEVER* had to 
recalibrate it.  I do not leave it plugged in all the time, but use it on a 
daily basis and, if I am not using it every single day, I check it to be 
sure the battery has not dropped below 30%.  If it is at 30%, I plug it in. 
The need to have it recalibrated is totally avoidable, in my opinion.
