I have 2 Kobo Wifi and they are not picky about charging cables I have used cable that came with reader and cables that came with portable hard drives. I have used 2 different cell phone chargers that plug into 110V AC outlet and chargers that plug into 12V car power outlet.
Let it charge even after light changes 1 or 2 hours to make sure it has good charge at first.
If you are not subscribed to news papers turn off auto down load.
If your not going use your e-reader turn it off with long press on power button. You then need long press to turn it back on. I don't use auto turn off reader as it seemed to be always off when I wanted to read again after I was distracted. Turning device on again and updating data base can waste power if your doing that a lot. Battery lasts much longer when device is off not in standby mode. I know this well because it was a few weeks before I learned how to turn it off.
