However I have two battery-related questions. First, is the "7000 page turns" estimate on the MobilereadWiki accurate? Or how would you measure and estimate batter life. (You may assume wifi is off.)

Second, all batteries eventually die (i.e. can't hold a charge anymore) and need to be replaced. How is that going to be handled for the PB series?
Before my 902 i have had a Sony 600 and a Sony 650, both report as having 7000 page turns, both sort of do and don't. Reading every day 1 page will NOT get you there 2 weeks was my average time with a charge. That was, btw with or without reading
Now you are probably wondering what i am talking about, so to make a long story short, after 2 weeks reading on my 902, just 2 bar out of 5 are gone!
Funny detail, when you have started the reader it shows just 1 bar of power, with every action this grows, until after a few page-turns it settles on 3 bars (atm).
My guess is the 902 will need to be fed just once a month, but that is without heavy WiFi use, just reading. I can SO live with that!
About opening it up.. Hmm maybe some other then me can answer you that, i am much to fond of my reader to want to pry it open
