the one strange thing that happened was that when connected to the charger, the aura popped up a message thinking it's connected to a computer ("Computer detected" with the cancel/connect option buttons). i simply hit cancel and put it to sleep.
My chsrgers (Sony and HP) that I use with ereaders are 5V 1500 ma. I would try a different charger. I think the Kobo one is two amps but 1500 ma is fairly standard for other readers and seems to work fine with my Kobo readers
