Kobo Aura One isn't ready for prime time, and should never have been released in the sorry state it's in. Period.
I strongly discourage anyone from investing in this thing until Kobo sort their crap out.

Out of curiosity, how many hours of reading was done during that half day? Given the battery life numbers, a drop of ~6% per hour read would not be unexpected given the average battery life of one month is predicated on reading 30 minutes per day (for that mythical average reader and average reading speed). Personally, I find the battery life is dependent on several factors including font size -- most of the power seems to be used while refreshing the screen. While you are reading the screen, very little power is used so the more text on the screen, the fewer page turns and the less power used to read a book. That by the way is why I find the tests where someone flips pages as fast as they can to be a bit risible.
