Kindle Oasis (2017) battery dying

When the 2nd Gen of the Kindle Oasis came out in 2017, I thought I had found the perfect e-reader! Loved the screen and the way it felt in my hand. Unfortunately, after 5-6 years, the battery appears to be dying. I just had it plugged in for three hours, it only charged up from 5% to 56%. It’s not the charger, because even when charged to 100% overnight, it only lasted me about 10 hours of reading time.

From what I found online, there’s no good way to replace the battery on the Oasis. I watched two videos where they destroyed screen or the back while doing so.

I guess it’s time to buy an Oasis 3? And why couldn’t I have found this out before Prime Day? I could just recharge every night until Black Friday.
