That's not a terrible idea.

The cheapest current Kindle model has an apparently impossible to replace battery. For that reason, I'm against it in principle. But from a practical standpoint, the costs of dedicated eReaders is liable to decline faster than the cost of specialized replacement batteries.

My recommendation for the frugal American is to search on Ebay for the vendor who is selling Kindles by the hundreds. I don't see any stupendous deals today on my favorite model, the Kindle Keyboard, but they have original Kindles for $24.99. That's about what you will pay for a new battery.
