I have to agree, a larger battery is probably not a priority for most people as most are surrounded with chargers from home to car to office. Really, how often must one charge an e-ink reader now?
As to the idea of user replaceable batteries, I'm all for it as I don't see a more immediate point of failure in current models devoid of physical mechanical page turn buttons. I imagine that as long as the lighting stays active, and the display in one piece, my Glo should last to the point where I'll probably need to swap the battery out -unless some radically better e-ink or other display tech lures me away. So far, so good.
I'd be interested in a cell phone with a battery capacity like my Note II and a 1920 X 1080 LCD display with a secondary e-ink display, but I'm not really sure I'd be completely comfortable reading on a 16:9 ratio display under 6" diagonal as it'd seem sort of narrow to me. I have a reader app on my Note II, but it's not something I use a lot. However, that may relate more to having access to my Glo when I usually have time to read for pleasure.
