No downtime? From the time the battery dies, to the time you get the "new' unit, to the time you re-download the books....you have downtime.

I wouldn't want a "new" Kindle. Its a stupid battery, for crying out loud.

And duh, like I don't know how to re-download my books......but the point is, I shouldn't have to.

Amazon, by re-designing the Kindle as a "new and improved" format has instead made it more difficult to accomplish what was a 5 minute job.

Maybe its standard, and maybe its accepted by some. That doesn't mean its right.

Now, had amazon just kept the blasted battery replaceable by the user, there wouldn't be a problem, would there?
