I recently picked up a lightly used iLiad v1 from the Flea Market forum. (Thanks hkabir!) So far, I'm loving the iLiad... except for its battery life. I'd love to be able to have it up and running for a long workday, including plenty of annotations.

I'm leaning towards upgrading the batteries with either the 1800 mAh or 2800 mAh cells, but am faced with two problems: (i) I'm in Canada, and can't find a retailer with reasonable shipping costs; and (ii) I have *zero* skill with a soldering iron and don't have any friends or family who are handy with one either.

Are there any forum members in the US who'd be interested in performing the upgrade for me for a fee? This may be a lot to ask, but I thought it would be worth seeing if it might be a possibility.

Thanks all.
