Amazon argued that not making the Kindle 2 battery user replaceable gave them much more flexibility in case design etcetera, but this is hard to believe when you see the actual battery (Kindle 2 disassembly).

I like the Hanlin V3's approach of using clones of standard Nokia cell phone batteries. It also has a screw to hold on the battery door.
