seriously? is my new iLiad already broken?

Let me explain:

I received the new iLiad (v. 1.5) yesterday, let it charge for 4 hours, then I turned it on. (I already had to reset it a couple of times before it could successfully boot). Battery indicator reports a fully charged iLiad.
Then

I thought my problems were over, I configure everything and happily load some books and start reading for a few minutes (40 pages of Snowcrash...)
Time to go. Shut down my iLiad.
After that I have to tell you I have not been able too boot my iLiad normally.

Each time it would take a couple of resets.
If I'm lucky and my iLiad booted successfully it would freeze while reading a book and require another reset.

After a while I notice the battery indicator has drooped to 3/4.... strange.
I said to my self I was hallucinating. That couldn't be true, so I decided to go to bed. Tomorrow would be a better day....

I was wrong...

Today my iLiad doesn't even boot, no matter how many times I press reset.

Possible problems.

Faulty battery: this would explain the 1/4 drop in 60 minutes without wifi usage.
but I plug it and after 20 minutes stops charging.
Still not booting.

I now this isn't normal (even with irex).
So I'm asking for your opinion,
Am I doing something wrong? Have I such terrible luck?
Or is this just what happens when you buy a first batch of an irex product?

Ahh, but now I've seen the wanders of e-ink with my own eyes, I can't live without my iLiad.

seriously, what's wrong?

thanks
