Kobo Original
I have had my kobo original for just over two years. I have been very happy with it. Lately, it appears the battery only holds a charge for a couple of days. Is this the beginning of the end? Your comments and/or suggestions are appreciated.

"beginning of the end" is probably right. They use Li-Ion batteries in these devices. These "age" which means they their capacity drops. A 50% drop in capacity after two years is fairly common. The more they are used, the faster the aging. Also, if they are kept warm, they age faster as well.

Do you use an SD card in the reader? In my Kobo original the battery life was cut dramatically when using an SD card.
