Although a laptop battery with alternative AA battery holder (even if it's many) is very cool on your ibm,

an ereader li-ion battery can be replaced. It's just a bit tricky. But they can all be opened and the battery replaced. You have to be good with a screw driver (sony) or knife (kobo, nook) (so sony is the easiest of these hard-to-replace batteries) is all.

Although cylinder batteries are everywhere and cheap, and you can just pop in/out whenever and keep reading, you'll be doing more popping compared to a li-ion and even AAA take up more depth than any of the newest thin eareaders can accommodate.
