Honestly, i don't see what the fuss is about. My Laptop batteries see FAR more use than my kindle and with no particular attention paid they both have over 500 full cycles and are still at 95% plus of their original capacity.
With a Kindle battery, even if I read a LOT I might get through one charge cycle a week, but more likely one per month, so we are looking at a life expectancy of somewhere between 10 and 40 years. I really don't see the point in sweating the details to try and get an extra 10% of life out of a battery that will already far out live the useful life of the Kindle.
