First, thanks for the lengthy addressing of the various problems, and thanks to all trying to help here.
So:
-I woke up the device, and since I've become rather wary, started by checking the battery level from the home page, which was then 72%. I opened the book I currently have ongoing, which was like 20 seconds after waking up, checked again, 72%. I didn't time it, but between 2 or 3 minutes after reading proper started, I rechecked, and it was then at 61%.
-I was wondering about that. How is the SN structured? Maybe that can be easily determined.
-I'm not sure what I could be doing that would trigger the faults I observed; I've wondered about that too. I sideload 99% of the books I read, and after that, basically do nothing but open and close books. That's it. No fancy stuff, no internet browsing, no OverDrive, etc. When I'm done reading, I put it to sleep, and that's it.
-And that's the interesting thing: did you observe anything alike to such problems on the Glo HD at all? If not, then it would suggest to me that at least a sizeable portion of the KA1 out there have a faulty battery controller, which would make it a hardware issue. And that's much more of a problem than eventually waiting for a FW correction.
Hope that helped.
