Basically? Exactly what the item I quoted says. Easily available tools to open the ereader. From what I got from bouncing a query off an online acquaintance who practices law in Germany, the procedure on iFixIt for the Libra Colour, Clara Colour & Clara BW meets the requirements. No mention of a battery door. It is not intended to make battery replacement something you could do while taking the bus to work, simply that it must be doable without specialized tools that are not available for the enduser to purchase.

Once again and hopefully this time you will actually read it:
Quote:
A portable battery should be considered to be removable by the end-user when it can be removed with the use of commercially available tools and without requiring the use of specialised tools, unless they are provided free of charge, or proprietary tools, thermal energy or solvents to disassemble it. Commercially available tools are considered to be tools available on the market to all end-users without the need for them to provide evidence of any proprietary rights and that can be used with no restriction, except health and safety-related restrictions.
If you go back to message #66, you will find the full PDF text of the latest revision that I found attached.
