If I know I'm going to be away from the book for a while, I'll power it off.
If I'm going to the bath or shoping or soewhere where there is a lineup,
or A&W for lunch, The book is there. being read. I can devour books.
I read the whole Lee Child - Jack Reacher series on my word processor
in 4 days. I read fast & retain what I read. When I was ready to stop,
I would delete what I had read, and save as a temp file.
I found a North American Source for the battery.
It is 11.00 & change, but the shipping costs are
prohibitive at this point.

There is a branch in the US also & one in Europe.
Problem is, they are on the wrong side of Canada.
I'm on Vancouver Island.
I think for the time being, I'm going to just do the
4 AA batteries wired to the USB cable. That will
increase the duration. At leat until Kobo gets off
their butt. |
robot shop is not a good company to purchase from. They offer no support and if you push for an RMA you may end up being black listed because they had to do the right thing instead of dick you around.
