I guess you could just figure it is like a set of tires, but even Amazon will replace your Kindle battery for $60. Maybe I am getting old, but the idea of so many battery powered gadgets with a 3 year life until it is trashed just seems wrong.

I got my Kobo Desktop for Christmas last year & its stopped working, I think its the battery- thats less than a year. As it was a gift, I don't know for sure where it was bought, nor do I have a receipt, neither does the person who gave it to me.
