Yup, that's exactly who I use. They're awesome.
But as I pointed out earlier, DIY battery replacing was easy with older devices. My old (PRS-505) metal Sony reader, for example, had screws in the top and bottom edges that allowed the guts to just slide out like a sleeve.
Years ago we could replace the batteries and screens and even LCD displays in most readers, game systems and MP3 players. Not anymore. Newer devices that have non-replaceable batteries (even with tutorials) are extremely difficult to take apart without ruining them. I'm pretty handy with electronics and have always done my own repairs. But I looked at my Kindle Voyage and it's just too risky.
