I'm thinking about using just the power leads from the USB cable,
and making a small external battery source. Pinouts & specs
appear easy, and with an external batttery I should be able to
get better than the day to day and a half I'm currently getting.
I'm not a "technician" in any sense of the word, but I am tired of
having my Kobo die every time I want to read.
Google for USB specs, you can easily find pinouts. 2 rechargable
AA batteries should suffice, a very short USB cord, shorten as
needed, and a bit of velcro to the back of the case, and I should
be able to go away for a weekend without having to bring along
my laptop so I can recharge.
I'm not going to try this until KOBO tech support abandons me,
although it is getting very lonely out there.
Anybody have that lived through the warranty period?
