That sounds like what I thought was happening the first few times i used my Kobo.
I thought i was charging it fully with my netbook. I'd plug it in. Leave to charge. Come back a few hours later, see the blue light, unplug it and run.
1 day, maybe 2 tops and it was reporting battery issues.
tried again. happened again.
I decided to charge it the next time while i was actually using the computer. Using only "sleep" mode, i got easily 7 days and 2 novels worth of charge. ( I read the first 2 books of Song of ice and fire on a single charge).
So i did my netbook while i was away again. 1 day.
something didnt seem right to me. so i experimented. What i discovered was perhaps a bug. If you shut off your computer, or let it go into standby mode, or anything in which the USB ports stop providing power, The light on the Kobo automatically turns to blue, and stays blue until you start to use the device.
This could easily be confused for a "full charge" when in all liklihood you have received a partial charge, at most.
Perhaps it's something for Kobo to fix. that blue light should only stay solid for a 100% complete charge. not if power is removed before fully charged.
