Have yet to see an ereader or a tablet with a battery designed to be easily replaceable by the user. Mind you, that would be a great selling point were a company ever to offer such a feature.
That said, apparently a lot of batteries can be replaced without too much difficulty...
Last year, I bought a super cheap tablet for its HDMI port so that I could hook it up to a projector at work. I was tired of carrying my nicer tablet back and forth. Initially, everything seemed fine and dandy. However, I soon discovered that it would not hold a charge, and when I went to get it replaced under warranty, I discovered the company had gone bankrupt.
I was all set to throw the tablet out, but then thought I might pop the back off the device and see what the battery looked like. I had nothing to lose since it was going into the recycling bin anyway.
So I watched a few YouTube videos to get a feel for how various tablets are put together, and eventually popped the back off it. I was able to see exactly what kind of battery is needed, and have ordered one off of ebay. Looks like it will be very easy to replace. Just need to borrow a soldering iron from someone once the battery arrives.
