Hi Mark844,
Thanks for all the detailed instructions. The internals of the EBookwise doesn't look much more complicated than a laptop. The soldering would be the difficult part. Maybe I will try changing the battery on one of the eReaders that is completely dead first and see how that goes. If it proves to be too difficult, then I haven't lost much.

I agree with you that I should probably just buy another eReader but I'm a simple girl and don't want/need all the bells and whistles that seem to come with the eReaders that I've seen for sale, and come at a price. I'm also on a limited budget. Aren't we all?

I would like to have an eReader that has an adjustable backlight as I like to read in the dark before going to sleep and I would like for it to read the epub format and hold a couple hundred books at a reasonable price. Not where I'm paying for all this other stuff that I would never use. That doesn't sound that difficult to me but good luck finding a Reader like that. But if you know one, please let me know.

This is the same problem I have with buying a phone. I want one that holds about 300 phone numbers, makes and receives calls, and has an alarm clock and picks up a signal in a rural area (that's the hard part). Good luck finding a phone like that.

Well, thank you again for all your help. I have learned a lot from reading all the references you sent.
