I'd just like to have a user replaceable battery again. That's the only *repair* any ereader device of mine has ever needed.
Not that being able to repair devices is bad, it's a good thing! But the cynical part of me says this is more of a marketing sop than anything terribly useful.
I had a Panasonic vacuum break once, several decades ago, and it was a circuit board issue. Replacing that circuit board was possible, when I inquired, but it was going to cost $1.00 less than the entire cost of the vacuum when I bought it new. A good vacuum, but not worth spending that much on it after years of use. I moved on.
There's like one independent phone repair place in town, and I doubt they'd have much, if any, experience with e-ink. Be more than likely I'd take a reader in for battery replacement and they'd break the substrate!
