Not having much experience with such matters, it was initially a little bit nerve racking taking such an expensive device apart. However, there really wasn't much to lose since my Note Pro wasn't holding much of a charge. And it certainly was cheaper than buying a new ereader.
One more thing to be careful about is disposing of the old battery when you remove it from the device. I was careful not to damage the battery when I removed it. I then placed tape over the ends of the disconnected wires so that they could accidentally touch and short themselves.
After that, I just placed it in a container with a bunch of other old batteries. I usually wait until I have a sufficient quantity to take to a hazardous waste disposal centre. When I did eventually decide to make the trip to the waste disposal depot last summer, I discovered that the battery was very swollen. It was a little alarming. If I ever have to remove a similar battery again, I won't keep it around any longer than absolutely necessary.
