It's been mentioned MANY times; I'm surprised you've not seen it!

This is going to be bad news for us non-US, non officially Sony supported owners in about a year from now when the LiIon batteries start to fail.
The battery should have a lifetime of at least three years.

What do other owners think about this matter?
A "non issue". I've never owned ANY electronic device long enough for the "limited" life of a LiIon battery to be an issue.

One could always buy a CyBook (which has a user-replaceable battery) should this be a concern.
