dvhh's description of what he/she did raises an interesting possibility, especially for those of us not in the USA: how easy is it in fact to 'pop off the Kindle's rear cover' as described?

Right now if you need a battery replacement, Amazon says you have to ship the unit all the way back to the States. Could we in fact not do it ourselves if we could persuade Amazon just to send a battery -- assuming for instance that the unit is out of warranty a year or so down the line and that heavy users have by then worn down the original battery?
