I would test it to hell. Put lots of books of different formats on there and open them all and page forward and back lots. Do anything you can think of. Stress test it.
I'm not that familiar with Kobo so I don't know if what you experienced is unusual for Kobo, or Kobo with Koreader. I ran Koreader on a Kindle, and yes, on reflection, it did used to crash a lot if I when into the advanced page layout settings. But a button reset always fixed it.
It seems to me you have two possible issues here--1.a koreader crash, and 2. a battery drain. And then there is night-mode too. The issue is, will it happen again? The only way to be sure is open up lots of different books and formats in koreader with night-mode on. In short, try to replicate the bug. If it happens again, you can probably solve it with a charge and reboot, then send it back.
But like said, Koreader used to crash regular as clockwork when I changed multiple settings in the advanced page format settings. I think I fixed it with a version update. So is it Koreader crashing in a predictable manner, and then for some reason the battery drains (a bad book can cause this). So even if you can replicate the bug, it doesn't necessarily mean the hardware is faulty.
