Kobo battery?
I bought an older Kobo from one of the Goodwill auctions. I think the battery is failing - I have to charge it up more than once a week, even when not in use. Is there a way to replace the battery easily? Probably a mistaken purchase- I wanted a cheap reader that just used my Kobo library (400+ books unread). I don't mind the slow page turning, but it's really getting annoying to pick it up and it's always wanting to get a charge.

You'll probably get more responses in the dedicated Kobo forum. Depending on which device it is it may be easier or harder to open it up, but I don't think you can replace the battery without some soldering.
There's a picture guide for the Kobo Touch here: https://www.instructables.com/id/Rep...Touch-Battery/ |

You might contact them anyway and see what they say. They supply the battery and needed tools, as well as an on-line video. Maybe they will add Kobo, now that Walmart is selling Kobo in the US |
