Just to give you some feedback, I have two Jetbooks with AA batteries, probably for the same reasons you consider important. I also got a nook because of the ability to replace the battery. As fun as the nook was, owning it kept me from getting a Kindle sooner. Once I used the Kindle, and found a few sites selling Kindle batteries, I dumped the nook and have never regretted it.
Otherwise, I have the satisfaction of knowing that my Jetbooks will probably work long after the Kindle dies and batteries are gone. But the screen is smaller the contrast is less and it does none of the many interesting things my Kindle does. With the move toward touch screens, with lower contrast and problems I hate, I am hoping that nothing I have breaks beyond repair because I despise touch screens. I had the Jetbooks for quite a while and they were very good for what they did. Jetbooks reads almost anything, loads in directories just like my PC, makes it very easy to find titles, and with a battery swap, my down time is minutes. If you get one, you will be happy as long as you don't look at other readers, especially Kindle.
