Can't say I'm impressed with Kobo and the way they treat Kobo's that were returned for one reason or another.
I don't think it was previously returned. I specifically asked, and was told it was brand new. It didn't look used, either (all the packaging, plastic films, etc. were still in place and unopened).

Battery life was actually better straight out of the box. I thought it was supposed to improve with charging... not get worse.

I don't want the Wi-Fi version, so I won't be exchanging it. I'll probably just use the device and recharge it regularly until I find something I like better (and/or until certain companies smarten up with the geographical restriction issue).
