It looks like this is a dead end - well, not even that, really. It was just a thought generated by moving to a newer place where the wifi signal degrades dramatically across the building, and having left my phone's wifi on one night - almost half the battery gone in eight hours!
It is frustrating, this. Since Kobo have eliminated the battery issue (and we have no choice but to trust them on that), there seems to be an environmental issue that affects some but not others. Two or three broken units shipped to the same people is an unlikely chance - I had a similar problem with an electric toothbrush a couple of years ago: to all intents and purposes I had three units with faulty chargers. Only when I was sent an upgrade to one with a charge indicator did I realise that there was an environmental issue - the pins on the mains plug didn't properly connect in the socket, though the two testers I'd used claimed all was well. (I did apologise to the very helpful folks at the service department!)
