Agreed.

Cell phones seem to be able to handle it without issue – at least the older ones I use, like my Blackberry Q10. And I'm glad it does because I recently had to replace the battery, my phone was rebooting itself with the old one.

I bought an Astak EZReader PocketPRO at Shop Goodwill and it has an easily replaceable battery. Apparently whoever owned it before me replaced the battery because this thing holds a charge for a couple months and seems to last forever when reading on it. And it was built in 2009.
