What a shame. You just got it, too, didn't you? Well, it *is* about eight years old. Changing the battery sounds simple to some. Just pop off the back, unscrew the white plate, reveal the battery, and pry that sucker off without rupturing it. It's glued on tight! The problem is that although the replacement batteries aren't too expensive, you have no guarantee replacing the battery will fix the problem, and you're over half way to the cost of buying another Mini off eBay.
Buying another Mini would be a better solution for you than replacing the battery, but I'd recommend investing a little more into getting the Clara HD. It's not much larger, it's got more storage capacity, a faster processor, a better eInk screen, and that sweet backlight with a color shift for late night reading.
