Hopped into car, bought battery, installed new battery, and was charging in 1 hr 15 min. Try doing that with any device with a non-replaceable battery.

2. If you have a dead battery, or otherwise a dead machine, how do you get your books off of it? With a removeable chip, you just pop out your chip and send the device in. No problem.

3. Folders - I keep a 1000+ books on my reader. Collections aren't enough for me, I want folders...

Even if you treat it as a disposable, shifting libraries from one machine to another without a removable chip becomes a pain...
battery: I thought a work around had been found for pulling the one out of the K2 and was fairly easy. if so, I would imagine the same deal for the 3

card slot: I think anyone who has large collections of music, books, pictures or whatever stored on an electronic device and hasn't backed them up somehow is just asking for trouble. removable card or not. I'm keeping my original K1 and will send books that are worth keeping to that card.

collections: really? they can't do what folders can just by a different name?
