Battery Q
My family has an old Kindle 1 which has an easily replaceable battery and there are reasonably priced 3rd party battery manufacturers.
We also have a few PRS-T1 units and I don't even know if you can buy batteries. When they were available they were more expensive than what we paid for the readers. They're also difficult/impossible to replace for a regular person.
We were looking at getting a Kobo, but a search showed that the batteries are replaced via a reader exchange program. That made my head explode.
Does anyone still build a unit that you can pop out a battery and replace for a reasonable price? I don't relish throwing away a reader when the battery dies, but the way prices move, that's really how it works out.
