Would you show me where you actually order the battery and how much?I couldn't find it from it's website. Many thanks

Mine was about 2 years old too. I had to recharge quite often now. I hope to keep using my DR for a year or two 2 at the least, until i'm sure what type of reader/tablet i'm going to buy next. So replacing the battery seemed worth the trouble.
I ordered the new one here in Holland:
http://nl.rs-online.com (search for art. nr. 446009). There might be an interesting alternative though:
http://www.batteryspace.com/index.as...OD&ProdID=4358. Found this in an older Iliad thread. Looking at the dimensions i think it would fit at the top of the DR and because it's only 6 mm thick maybe you could avoid having to cut a hole in the case entirely. It would go on top of a small flatcable, i'm not sure if that would be a problem. I couldn't find this type of battery here in Holland, so i decided to try the Varta battery.
If you're going to give it a try, be sure to have a look at the older thread (
