Jinke even provides (included) a small screwdriver for this. The battery is a Nokia B14C and is readily available online. Carrying a second battery is certainly easy enough.

This was only a sideline to a concept of more solid ereader, really. What I wish for is something a little like RCA 1100 - solid, not to stuff an overlarge battery in an oversmall case... Still, more available power is more available power. You might need it (for instance for sidelighted screen). And if you do not need it, it's just as well, you don't have to use it. Also, I am all for easily replaceable battery, but there are instances when you just cannot replace it for one reason or another (last time it was a screwdriver - needed that tiny one - I did not take it with me going for vacation, and could not get it while there).
