Sony says the battery is on back order for something like $80 which timing and cost are not palatable...at least not to me.
I'm still looking for a battery from other source(s).

For just $100 more, I can get a Kobo H2O that has a newer ADE, bigger screen, newer screen and, higher resolution.
It's silly to charge so much for a battery. But then I suppose, it's the only game in town for the battery as I've not been able to find one that would fit.
If I was still using my 650, I would have bought a replacement battery as the battery definitely shows signs of age.
This is why the age of throw away electronics is not good. We get a perfectly good electronic device that has to be scrapped because we cannot get something as simple as a battery. If Sony had kept the user replaceable battery that the 900 had, I'd have bought a 950 instead of a 650.
However, what I would do is give Sony a call and see what they are prepared to do about the 950's aging battery. Maybe they can do a swap with a refurbished unit for less then the online cost of the battery alone.
