Not so easy for those of us who find wiring a plug to be a technical challenge . I think I prefer to buy devices which are designed to allow the user to replace the battery.

It's interesting to note that new EU laws actually REQUIRE batteries to be replaceable for new devices. Not for the benefit of the consumer, but so that batteries can be removed and properly disposed of to avoid environmental issues. I would hazzard a guess that this might be a block on the PRS-700 being sold in the EU, since it was released after this new law came into effect.
