You can find more compatible batteries online,

If you want a new device, I really benefit of the GLO light (or front light) of modern devices.
I prefer the Kobo H2O because of the larger screen, but if screen size isn't important to you, then my recommendations are:
Kinde Voyage: Probably the best 6" e-reader around, but doesn't really accept a lot of free e-book formats without conversion. No external SD, and no turning off the front light.
Kindle Paperwhite: I like this one, because of the large Amazon book store, but also because it can go really dark on the front light, great for night reading.
Generally this is also the cheapest device around!
The cons are the same as the Voyage: can't read EPub, no expandable memory, and no turning off the glo light.
Kobo HD: Has the option of downloading GetPocket (offline) articles, front light can turn off, and it reads EPuB (aka: FREE ebooks, without the need to convert them).
The Kobo store is smaller than the Amazon store, and it is a bit more expensive than the PPW3.

Most 6" devices sold today, have the 300DPI resolution, and display just about anything pretty well on them, although rather small.

For PDF and Comic books, you really need a 10+" device, unless they're formatted for smaller e-ink devices.
Even reading comics on the Jetbook 9.7" feels cramped.
