Interesting read in the forum about the battery here

Apparently there have been several others with this battery concern (I guess me too, now) Apparently SquareTrade's warranty would cover the battery.....but calling them on it would be wise....

In one of the last posts there is a link to pictures of the teardown of the NC in a sequential order, to get to the battery, certainly looks like it's replaceable, but a bit of work to get the job done (I could do it, hopefully I don't have to anytime soon)

Disclaimer: Performing the steps detailed in the teardown, may void the warranty
Interesting to see the NookColor taken apart....
