Sadly I also got a launch kobo from borders and also have the battery life of a gnat. I read one book yesterday after FULLY charging it and this morning it had the please charge me message. A week's worth of battery life my aunt fanny. it lasted maybe 400 page turns then after being put to sleep overnight apparently ran out of juice. This makes my 4 year old reader's battery life look amazing.

Currently on hold with kobo tech support and have been for 10 minutes. So far, not so good. (and no, no SD card, only added 3 books to it all epups)

Update: after I got someone she suggested exchanging the wireless kobo with borders for a new one. Will contact borders and see how that goes. (20 minutes later got sick of waiting on hold and will debate trying again later before driving the 35 minutes to the nearest borders to try to exchange this e-reader)
