I've attached some pictures to show what I mean. Kind of like replacing non-smartphone battery.

Here's the NewPower99 replacement video...

Note to JSWolf, I tried embedding the video, but it kept giving an error and saying "try again later."
I'd say it's the obsession with thinner devices and the usual manufacturer attitude toward longevity. It'll be a sad day when my PRS-350 battery dies if I can't get a replacement.
