Battery Indicator Question

Hi All
Don't kn ow if anyone else has the same ~ noticed that after having Kindle charging via PC & ejected, the battery indicator shows full but appears to have an exclamation mark in it. Any ideas?

Thanks

See this thread on Amazon. It appears the battery does not have sufficient charge for you to use whispernet.

it may be worth checking whether you've left WiFi enabled - this can be a big battery drain - even when the Kindle is asleep. (It seems to check for stuff regularly).

ps Some USB computer ports especially on netbooks may not have enough oomph to charge via USB.
