Will you be installing it yourself? Looks kind of fiddly from the pictures I've seen.
Well I'm really pleased to report that my reader is fixed and fully charged and working standalone without being plugged in.

I did replace the battery myself - it was fiddly and it took time to prise open the case and also to desolder and resolder the battery connections. However, the sense of achievement more than makes up for the effort expended!

The 2 PRS-T1s that I was watching on Ebay sold for silly money anyway. My £8 was well spent!
