Hi guys... I bought my second Kobo less than 2 weeks ago and I've had to charge the battery 3 or 4 times. I do have 3 newspaper subscriptions. Is this why it's losing the charge so quickly? I get, probably, 100 pages read and then have to recharge. I was about to exchange it at Chapters. Can someone tell me if it seems I should return it or if I'm just using it incorrectly? Even after it's fully charged, if I connect it up again 5 minutes later, the red light shows and it's charging already.

I can see from reading your posts that I should be powering it off at night. I've been leaving it sleeping since I'm used to the old Kobo without WiFi. I don't know how to turn WiFi off! I think I liked the old one better. Thanks for any help..
