That's my question... I mean it's nice to be able to remove the battery but is it really necessary?
The warranty's good for a year - if the battery fails in the first year Amazon should replace it. Odds are we'll see a Kindle3 18 to 24 months from now - by then will folks with bad batteries really care about getting the battery replaced or just decide to get the Kindle3? Given the number of K1 owners who upgraded to the K2 and I'd bet that the majority of folks are just going to replace their K2 when the battery goes out instead of bothering with getting a new battery...
