I was talking about 10-20 batteries, not wholesale quantities. Still, if you have specific contact info, that might be worth it.

Actually in my experience those batteries have quite long life time expectation. Until now we had to deal with just 5-6 really defective batteries, which must be replaced.

Although mine is still decent for how long it runs the system, it is suffering quite badly from an inaccurate gauge, so that when it drops two bars from max, I never know if I have 10 minutes or 10 days left, because it never seems to drop below that...it just locks up or powers off.
Since nobody seems to want to build a significantly better 9-10" eInk reader, I expect to need this device to last for another 10-15 years, so having a few spares is important.
