I would rather have a heavier thicker Reader that I can replace the battery or get it replaced than a thinner lighter Reader where the battery cannot be replaced. Amazon make the Oasis 2 to be thrown away when the battery is shot. But, if the battery has to be made replaceable, then Amazon cannot pull such an underhanded trick. Same thing with Microsoft and the Surfacebook.

If this bill does come to be law, I can easily see companies having to redesign even if they've already designed and have even gone so far as to already made it just not yet for sale. I think that would teach these companies a lesson.
