At least the Gen3 has a user-replacable battery, and replacement batteries are pretty inexpensive. We're in a much better position than our friends with a Sony or an iLiad. I think the Kindle has a user-replaceable battery, too.
Yep, the Kindle has a user-replaceable battery as well. Very easy to get to--just slide off the back cover (no screws or anything) and pop it out.
