Just an update - I called them this morning and it turns out the issue is not closed or considered resolved by Kobo. The rep told me I would be receiving a follow-up email in 24-48 hours. I am hoping it has instructions on how to return the device and that they are sending a new one. Wishful thinking? We shall see...

Back again - I received an email this morning saying, "After looking closely at the information you provided, this is confirmation that your eReader/Tablet is eligible for replacement under warranty. An order will be created to ship you a replacement device within 5 to 7 days."
How cool is that! So, Kobo is coming through, looking responsive and helpful. Hope the replacement works! We shall see... |

Heh heh heh heh. I'd have to look through my e-mail archives, but I think that's the exact same boilerplate wording as when they decided to replace my Aura HD.
(That replacement was replaced by a H2O after it suffered a horrible death from being dropped (and bouncing down) a set of stairs.) |

An update - I just received my replacement H2O via UPS yesterday. I have not tried it yet, but very soon. So it took awhile, but so far so good. Of course, my original one worked fine till the 2nd charging (the initial charge was the first), so I am kind of worried...
Oddly, I have not received return instructions yet from Kobo, so I still have my original (currently being used as a door stop.. ) |

I received a return mailer from Kobo (something I believe they only do in Canada) but never got around to using it. When I remember (like now) I usually feel a bit guilty about that...

You mean that they don't seem to care if they ever get the broken device back??

Very strange, for sure. Anyway, if they send me instructions and a UPS shipping label, I'll send it back to them with no problem. Otherwise, well it is holding my door open very nicely!

Oops, I just looked more closely at the email I got from them about a week ago telling me that they were going to ship me a new one. It DOES in fact have a shipping address and instructions on how I should return it. (Apparently I have to pay the shipping charges). Oh well, I'll do it...

I shipped the bricked H2O back to Kobo this afternoon. Cost me $11 for UPS shipping! Yikes!! Maybe I should have used USPS...

This may be country-specific, or perhaps policies have changed. Kobo sent me a free mailer to return my Aura HD back in the day. I really should get around to using it...
