I couldn't agree more. I refuse to buy any phone that doesn't have a replaceable battery, right now I've got the LG G5. I've never had a phone that didn't need the battery replaced after a few years (usual problem is swelling), and as expensive as decent smart phones are now, I tend to keep mine for 4-5 years minimum.

I don't mind having to take apart my readers to replace a battery, but so far, I haven't had to, even on my oldest Sony 350 readers, they still seem to hold a charge ok. But I agree there also, there should be a way to replace your battery on any device.

It's just a marketing tactic to force you to buy a new phone or reader instead of just a $15 battery.
