Opening your Kobo to only notice that the battery drained down because the device was opening itself non-stop all day long is quite maddening.

Don't mind Jon too much, he's only half right here, your options are replacing the battery or getting a new device.
It's fully possible you got a bad battery from the outset in which case nothing you could have done short of those two options (or for a short time contacting Kobo for a replacement) would solve the issue.
In any case, I personally prefer the Forma over the KA1. The increased screen size, the buttons, the overall shape redesign all add up to a superior device for my tastes.
People have also found they like the Libra for similar reasons.
Replacing the battery is not particularly hard, but it's certainly harder than replacing the device outright.
