Both my wife and my original jetbook's were over a year and a half old. Both giving us half or less of the original 20 hours of use on a charge. Both were getting slow, slower loading book, slower turning page, slower on everything.
So I took the plunge and ordered replacement battery and installed it.
Install was pretty straight forward, pull the rubber dots out of the 4 screw holes with a pin, remove 4 screws (tiny phillips) Then starting at the end opposite from the usb plug unsnap the sides all the way around. (small flat screwdriver or similar tool will work, take your time here, doesn't require huge amount of force, just a little in the right spot.)
Unplug old battery, plug in new one, and reverse the process.
Wow
Back to 20 hours of use, and everything is just like when it was new, quick, crisp.
We bought ours from Ebay, 19:95 $ and free shipping.
So for 20 bucks our jetbooks just "turned back the clock" truly its like having a new one again. So don't be afraid to try.
You can DO it!
