The Kobo (touch specially) seems like such an awesome dedicated e-reading device that I find it a shame that it comes with such bad battery. How can the thing eat so much battery when the E Ink display eats nothing without page changes and the (very limited) dedicated processing unit is mostly idle (it doesn't even feature mp3 playback or something)?
I was considering buying the new Kobo Touch, but the battery issue and Border's financial situation doesn't inspire me much. I wanted it so much because it seems to be the one dedicated e-reader with Pearl E Ink with good support for ePubs and PDFs.
