Update on my third charge: 3.5 hours charge time. 600 page turns. No power offs.

EDIT: I am upgrading my page turn count to 750. I realised that the ePub I am reading displays 2.5 screens of text per 'page', and I got to page 297 when it died.

Man, that sucks! My charge is getting worse, last time I had 950.

For the 4th charge I've left it over night, and will try powering down while at work, and overnight, and see if that helps.

Sadly, I'm getting into "time to return my Kobo" territory here. Has anyone who returned their device due to poor battery life gotten a second device that performed better?
