is that the sort of "coming away" that other people are talking about, and for which chapters will give a replacement unit?

Yup, that is exactly what my Kobo 1 button looked like before I patched it up.

Took my swiss army knife and lifted the blue rubber back to flush with the white housing. Then I ran a small bead of crazy glue along the side to keep it in place.

Turned out okay, should have been a little more patient with the glue application thou.

I would send a pic, but I gave my old Kobo to my bro-in-law.
