@David444: from my understanding the battery will gain more charge the more you charge it. when put into sleep mode i can read comfortably at night for 2 weeks before the unit requires a charge. if i turn it off i can read for 2-3 months. you failed to mention how you charged it, the issue with your battery burning up so quickly could easily be due to a faulty charger or an over-powered USB port. also you did not mention if you left wifi on, as that would also help to eat up the battery much quicker.

as for the d-pad issue, its a known problem. the glue can come loose after some time, on some units. it's a design flaw as far as i am concerned, but a very minor one. i've yet to experience it, but from what i have read a small dab of super glue applied with a toothpick will solve the problem.

i'm sorry, but the d-pad rubber lifting from the case is not enough of a reason to not recommend the kobo wifi. until you prove otherwise your battery issues remain yours alone, yet to be fully debugged.
