Battery not holding charge

My original Kobo isn't holding a charge when set to Sleep instead of Power Off - I need to charge it every day. This isn't the end of the world - I can charge it at night - but I got my original Kobo last June or so, have the receipt, and it's still under warranty; I wonder if I should use the warranty. I see my options as:

1) Set the Power Off option. I'd rather not since I pick it up to read multiple times per day. Then I charge it every 4-5 days I think.
2) Charge it daily and live with it. Like I said not the end of the world but battery life is limited to # of discharges right?
3) Call Kobo for warranty replacement, but am I likely to get a refurbed one? Also I'd be without it during the exchange cycle which would be tough!
4) Bring it in to Chapters - I could get a WiFi but I heard that I'd need to pay the $50 upgrade - anyone know for sure?

Anything else? Opinions? Advice?
