It's supposed to be a blinking orange, but as you've probably noticed, a change in viewing angle of just a few degrees shifts the color through red, orange, and green. Red is supposed to signify a severely depleted battery, apparently.
Last night when I was trying to revive my Pocket Pro, I also experienced the color-cycling you refer to, where the colors cycle independently of the viewing angle. This is different from what it looks like when doing a normal charge. I do not know what it means and a brief skim of the manual didn't turn up anything.

Yes, I never removed the battery.
A few minutes ago I picked up my Pocket Pro that's been sitting around for about 12 hours since I finished charging it this morning. I had left it turned on with a book on-screen. When I hit the page-advance, nothing happened. Page-back, nothing. Menu, nothing. Locked up. I reset it, and the reset screen just showed "Starting..." for several minutes, until I reset it again. Now everything seems to be OK. Battery level is good.
I think I'll experiment with turning it off after every use, instead of just leaving it on like I do with it's bigger 6" EZReader brother, and see if that helps. Leaving it on all the time is obviously not working for me.
It's a young device and may just need a little more firmware work. Or maybe I got a lemon. I'll give it some more time and see what experience others have with it.
