I've also had battery problems with my Kobo. The initial charge was supposed to take 3 hours, but was completed in only 30 minutes or so. I have 2 charges since (each taking 20 mins or so), each giving me probably 500 page turns on though probably more into the 800-1000 page turns on the current charge, with about one-third of the battery left. I contacted customer support and they said to return the device if I feel it defective (they felt it was), but I want to give it a couple of more charge cycles before they do that. I suspect it is a software rather than a battery problem, and am hoping a few more charge cycles will allow it to "learn" the battery's size. From the looks of this thread, the Kobo appears to have some fairly serious problems with its battery. What is everyone else planning on doing with the Kobo's with the short battery life?
