Exactly. If that were to happen, I would buy a second and stow it away. I have enough mechanical know-how that if I needed to, I could open the thing up and replace the battery when it deteriorates from lack of use.
The ereader itself is just a medium to read the books. More important is making backups of the books themselves. I've got all of my books backed up in multiple formats on HDD and in the cloud. If my Nook broke, I could read my books on any internet connected device.
I know it's a controversial topic, but if you're worried about backing up your reading experience, the material itself what you should be focusing on.
