Hello
I got a Kobo on April 16 for my birthday. I first charged it for over three hours, and the light never turned blue. I just assumed there was something wrong with the lights. I used it a few times, then it needed to be charged. So I left it charging overnight, again light never turned blue. I didn't use it for a few days and the next time i picked it up it said I needed to charge the battery. Plugged it into my computer and it froze at the start up page. I reset it, but it kept freezing. So on Tuesday I took it back to wear I bought it and got a new one. I just opened my new one last night and decided to charge it right away. Plugged it in and left it charging over night. I woke up this morning and the light is still red and the battery indicator is still at half way. Its now been plugged in for almost 12 hours! Now I'm thinking it's not the Kobo that's not working, it's me or my computer. What would prevent my Kobo from charging? Oh, I also have it on the "manage library" option to charge it.
