I've gone through three KA1s. One had lighting issues, so I returned it. The replacement lasted years until two weeks ago. The other was my daughter's and either she damaged the USB port, or it was defective as others have reported here. Once out of warranty, it failed to take a charge.
I loved my KA1. Loved it to death. I kept good care of it (no scratches or dings), and the battery was great, but then the face started peeling up in September. All four sides. I have kindles that are far older and that have held up better with similar use. It's likely my case was too snug because the kobo unit became curved.
KA1s aren't easy to take apart. My older KA1's face pried off with slight effort when I inspected the USB port, but the newer one that had the peeling problem was bonded solidly to the frame. It seemed to be glued tight everywhere except the peeling edges. I couldn't pry it apart for love nor money. YMMV
