Having said that, now I can use it - it is is a splendid piece of kit that I hope Kobo can make perfect.

Mine uses about 10% per reading hour, too (no wifi, no auto-light, no sync). I have the distinct feeling this is as good as it gets, update or not.
ETA You are right about it being splenid otherwise! I so love the big screen and the Donald-Trump-colored light :d
