Popped in my new battery in my Sony PRS-505 today. I followed the instructional video from NewPower99.com while I was doing it and had no problem. A bit of a tight fit, but as Doreen says, a little gentle rocking and some patience does the trick. Perhaps a beer. A tip: Do this while you are sitting down, and have a hand towel laid out in front of you to work on and put the tiny screws on.

One potential problem: The PRS-505 is acting brand new now --- I'm going to have trouble justifying a purchase of a new Kindle or iPad!!
