So it can be done - just needs to overcome the idea that with tech products you need to "upgrade" every year.

Some of us have happily been using the same devices for many years. My husband and mom are using 2nd gen Paperwhites from 2013. They each still get about 20 hours of battery life. The Kindle 2 I recently traded in still worked for a day's with of reading, and I bought it 10 years ago this month.
We have an iPhone 6 from 2014, and a 7+ From 2016. Neither of them have serious battery issues, they easily last all day, a couple of days if not being used.
We have an iPhone 4s from 2011 that still has a battery life of 6 hours or so...depending on the game app being used.
With that kind of battery life, I personally don't see the need for user replaceable batteries.
