I am hoping somebody who knows more about this technology can help me. I was given a Kobo (wifi version) for my birthday in November. Charged it overnight, loaded a couple of books and PDF's, put it in my purse, 5 days later took it out and the battery was dead. Thought maybe it wasn't fully charged after all, charged it overnight again, checked to make sure the battery was showing full, put it in my purse, a week later - dead again. Returned it to the store and got a new one, repeated the whole process - same result. Consulted Kobo support - they said return it. Returned it again, 3rd Kobo, same problem. So I have to assume there is something in my purse that is draining the battery. Is this possible? I have a cell phone and a GPS in there as well, all functioning normally.
