If you look at what I quoted in my reply, I am not commenting on whether you are likely to buy a new ereader. I quoted again, and highlighted, what I was replying to: your opinion that changes such as adding a user changeable battery would sell more product. I disagree with this as I believe the increase in size and price would mean that the one next to it that was significantly cheaper and probably noticeable smaller, is the one people would buy.

As to the size increase, it really depends on how they do it. If they put a hatch on the back and use standard batteries, I think the difference would be quite noticeable. If they use a custom battery and pull the whole back of like a lot of phones, the difference would be there, but not as much. Of course, using a custom battery would at least partly defeat the point as that means the custom battery has to still be available and a reasonable price when the new one was needed.
