I replaced the battery in my old kindle keyboard so I could fill it up before they removed support recently. That kit also came with a pry tool and couple of small screwdrivers, but the screwdrivers were garbage and I had to use my own precision screwdriver.

I don't know if that would satisfy the legal requirements. The battery was quite easy to swap out, with a couple of regular, if tiny, crosshead screws holding it in place. The issue for me was that prying the back off without chewing it up was impossible, so I can't regard that as properly replaceable.

I don't really care for the obsession with thinness and no bezels on phones. Everyone ends up adding a case since the devices are annoying to hold, and the lack of bezel means you are accidentally touching the screen all the time. Never mind that my old phone had room for a pulsing light that told me when I had a message, where my new phone I just have to keep waking it up to check.
