give it a few weeks of running down and charging up again to see how the battery's handling. also, pay attention to the size of books, etc ... that can make a big difference in how fast the battery drains.
Didn't Kobo support, in the past (probably for KT), assert that 2 charges at 50% and 1 charge at 0% has the same impact on the battery's life? And 3 charges at 67%, etc.
