[Reader-users] Determining When To Charge and AvoidingOverchargingThe camera

[James Jolley]

Yep your ok. I have left mine in for days at a time.
As I sent earlier on I have had to return my reader though as the  
camera died. It took pictures but the images were black apparently.  
Nothing was recognised and it was too quick in sending the picture to  
the pda.
