Thanks for the replies, guys.

Cromag: I was thinking about that after I posted - I doubt the JBL has the lithium charging circuit needed. So unless I roll my own (and I still don't know where to "tap in" to the board), strike that idea.

Ken: It's more than just the "bump," I prefer the charger (overnight) and never having to buy/keep/replace AA batteries throughout its life.

So, as Ken pointed out, a screen transplant is the better solution. But they're so sensitive, I'm fearful of damaging it during removal. Has anyone successfully removed/replaced one?

For that matter, does anyone know where I can get a replacement screen? Maybe I can fix the old one and have two working readers! I contacted Ectaco long ago and was told to just buy a whole new reader. They don't sell parts.
