As you say, the battery can be changed, but why on Earth bother? If the user actually wants a red Sony, buy the current PRS-T3, which is still sold, and is also available in red.
I'll have to agree with Harry on this one. My 505, bought in '08 only lasts for about an hour and a half without being plugged in.
I understand the rationale for wanting a red reader, but bear in mind that skins can be purchased for virtually any device on the market. Perhaps a new T3 skinned with a custom Fire Department logo or something similar might suit your needs better.
