Thanks for the link

Computer forums have had this sort of advice from time to time but it's nice to have it confirmed

It looks as though our Kobo Touch batteries will last three to five years, that's if we haven't lost or damaged the eReaders before then

Apparently the battery is not replaceable by the user but there may be some specialist battery companies that will have a go !
