Yes cash. Kijiji is like craigslist in the US I guess? Buy & Sell site for local stuff. Typically all meet in person/cash deals. I'm honestly not that worried about it. It's always a risk when buying used hardware, and this is the first time I've been burned (if it is a bad battery, still not convinced). This is my first ereader, and I love it outside of the battery only lasting 2 days. So I may just buy a new one and use this one for testing different software & patches and as backup parts.
Would the clock go haywire if the device never dies? I haven't actually had the Kobo completely die yet, and the date is always right, even though it seems to display a completely random time (hours, minutes, AM & PM are all wrong) every time this happens. I have also noticed the device doesn't actually like me trying to set the clock, it can take 4-5 attempts before it saves.
I've had the device on, no sleep, with 5% backlight. Opening and closing a book randomly for the last hour with no change in battery. But as you mentioned, I suspect it will take a few days to die, even without sleeping at 13% battery if everything acts normal.
Thanks for the continued suggestions stumped. I'll be following your suggestion once I can get this thing to actually die and charge up to full. I'll remove the books and see what happens if I don't let it sleep.
