Only if you do it wrong. Screens are usually the most likely thing people will mess up. If you're just replacing a battery and you use quality replacement parts there's nothing that you should be able to break.

So the first investment I made was a program to read ebooks on my computer. It was 100 bucks, but its lifetime updates. Amazing program. Icebook reader pro. You can get a trial version and the only difference between paid and free is you get a pop up every 10 or 15 min reminding its shareware. It will even read the book to you and make audio books.

Why not Adobe Digital Editions (free), Nook for PC (free), Kindle for PC (free), MobiPocket Reader for PC (free), Kobo for PC (free), Sony for PC (free), Calibre (free), CoolReader (free), FBReader (free), etc? $100 is a lot to pay for ebook reading software when literally all of the competition is free (most of the store-based software like Nook and Kindle will allow you to read any of your non-store-purchased books just fine).
I looked through the features of Icebook and there was nothing compelling enough in there that would make it worth $100 for me. Perhaps you have different priorities, and it's a little late now. But I'm pointing this out in case others think that the only way to read ebooks on their PC is by shelling out $100.
