Oops! Thought of something else! While I have yet to have had a problem with my 3-year-old eBW, in many of the other "ideal ebook Reader" threads, people have said they'd like a user-replaceable battery.
I know the ability to swap batteries was a factor in my switching from my initial Toshiba e330 PDA to the Dell Axim v51 (another was that Toshiba got out of the market before I was interested in upgrading). For what that's worth, I've passed on that old Toshiba to a friend, who's happily reading eBooks on it. So sometimes I think the desire for a swappable battery is more a "just-in-case" desire than something truly necessary.
