[QUOTE=dryfire;1621700]Opens just like an iPod. "CAREFULLY" work a plastic then blade tool into, and then around the groove. Top frame comes off, leaving the entire works in the tray. I lifted the screen, without disconnecting it, and pried up the battery. Now I have to find a replacement battery source.

Unable to find the squishy battery, so I improvised. A Radio Shack 273-0034 2.35mm connector, a 4 AA battery holder, a little solder, a little heat shrink tubing, a patch of Velcro. Now she is a portable reader. I will be experimenting with battery life, rechargeables, etc.
