Hello, my name is LisaBri and I have been having problems with the battery not holding a charge on my kobo ereader.

It would charge to blue, then within an hour of reading it would be down a bar. After that it would level out for a couple of days but within a week it would need charging. I am using it a lot but I am not getting 8000 page turns maybe 900.

I read here about letting the battery calibration and let it run out then fully charge up. I did this about 10 times before I gave up and was sent a new kobo.

It had a 3/4 charge in it so I phoned Tech support and they told me to charge it to full.

The same thing has happened. It has lost a bar in the first hour but since then maybe 3 hours it has not moved.

I have done anything tech said and the other issue is that it will not eject out of the computer, the icon for usb port is missing. (PC XP SP3). The usb port is completely gone from my screen. I have 5 usb ports and they all do that. So I just unplugged it. In hindsight, I should have turned the computer off then unplugged it.

Could this be the reason that my KOBO doesn't hold a charge so that I have screwed up yet another ereader?

Also I tried using my Netbook, windows 7,and it wouldn't even acknowledge a new piece of hardware.

Anything would be appreciated

Thanks very much,

LisaBri
