Would prefer a drag and drop file manager style. And why can't I flag what I want to read to selectively load? If I've read a book, I want to take it off the reader! And of course, you can't use it for other books. For epubs without DRM (eg. from Fictionwise), I use Calibre. For library and other ADE books, I use ADE. So 3 pieces of software just to keep my reader current!

If you use ADE for your library books why don't you just use it for your Kobo books as well. There is no reason why you HAVE to use the desktop software. I think you're being generous in suggesting it is okay - I think it really lets Kobo down.
Also when using ADE you can choose which books are on your reader. You just drag them on when you want them. Otherwise they sit happily in ADE waiting until you decide to read them. Once you have read them you can take them off the Kobo until you want them again. Couldn't be easier.
With the original Kobo there is an option to hide the 100 free books (but only if you haven't opened them) otherwise there are instructions in one of the stickies above on how to remove them permenantly. I assume it works the same with the Wifi model?
As the others have said your battery sounds like it is faulty. I would exchange and get one that holds the charge.
Good luck!
