Meanwhile my Kindle Paperwhite from 2011 was still working fine, so I've been using that instead and plan to upgrade to a waterproof Kindle Paperwhite at some point. I don't think I'll buy a Kobo again even though I loved the device and interface, too expensive for something that's going to just fail like that. If you get a Kobo and have any usb problems deal with it ASAP while it is in warranty, even if it isn't very bad, and/or install a wireless charging device on it to avoid wear on the port.
You only have yourself to blame. When the USB port was acting up, you should have contacted Kobo then.
