Of course Kindle 2 / 3 battery is subject to be easy replaced. I bought a replacement 1500mAh battery for my Kindle 2 for less than 20$ (incl. delivery).
Kindle 1 if used more than a 2 years will soon have capacitors leaked/dried, microcracks in the mainboard or in the device case, battery need to be replaced, may be SD card will have bad sectors soon if heavily used.
In your case it is not a big deal, only 25 bucks to save.
Of course, Whispernet is a big deal - why you don't go Kindle 3 Wifi+3G? It even have (at additional cost) lighted case. My Kindle 2 is 3G international and I am very happy with this.
Mine Kindle 2 is second hand too, but it was used only 2 months. I bought replacement battery in mistake - Kindle arrived with empty battery and I was shocked and bought a battery but then I realised that the seller had put a lot of books before sent and thus indexing was emptied the battery. So now i kept this battery sealed - brand new as a replacement.
