DIY Kobo battery replacement? Why not? Instead of all you guys complaining use your energy to DO IT YOURSELF. I must admit that I have not yet found a cheap (i.e. under $10), suitable battery yet, but I have buggered up the battery connection. That's easy to do! So take my tip: - If you do get a new battery for it do not attempt to unplug the connection. Mine would not unplug, but it did break off beautifully. So make the new connection by using the already attached wiring, leaving that tricky little board connection well alone. Good Luck!
