Hi everyone - My first post on this forum.

I dragged my Kobo out of the cupboard the other day and marvelled that it still charged up. Though it looks like it doesnt last too long. I guess not surprising for something that is around 9 years old (or so).
I have seen it doesnt look too hard or expensive to replace a battery -so may give that a go.

It is still a joy to use, but the silicon D-Pad has a bit of a crack in it and that will get worse.

Is there a good solution to a the D-Pad problem - Can't see anything like a replacement solution online. What have others done?

Any suggestions or advice?
