As far as why Kobo maintains there may be a difference in battery monitoring, is anybody's guess. My impression is that they seem to say whatever and hope it sticks. I can't get a definitive answer from them. Not good customer service if Kobo is listening. Own any problems and fix them. They're really good at replacing a device (when they want to), but don't count on a lot of depth beyond that. I think the USB/PC charging is a slower charge so maybe in an older battery it may make a little difference but if the device controls how fast it charges (and 1.0 A is not THAT high or fast)...??
