I'd been wondering about exactly this, but I've only had a Kindle Touch since last fall, so, unfortunately, I don't have an answer.
In another thread about turning WiFi on and off, I wrote that I frequently switched airplane mode. Most of the other posters wrote they just left it off (or on) all the time, because (if they left WiFi on) they didn't find frequent recharging to be a burden.
However, since I'm one of those people who hangs on to their devices rather than one who gets the latest model, I've been concerned that more frequent battery charging would shorten the life of the battery and hence the Kindle itself. Obviously, the battery is not user-replaceable. Considering the price of a Kindle and the presumptive cost of factory replacement of a battery (assuming such even exists - I have no idea) when the battery goes, so it would seem goes the Kindle.
So I am curious if anyone has had to throw away their Kindle due to the battery no longer holding a charge.
