Many other eink reader devices allow you no control or access to the battery.
I think there is a place you can order a new battery as well, so if it begins to not hold as long of a charge, order a battery, and you can switch them out yourself. It saves time (a week to ship, and a week to return) and also postage (shipping both ways).

I seem to remember that it was said that the device uses a Nokia mobile phone battery (don't remember which model), so if that is correct, then it should really be easy to get hold of another battery, and possibly even an external charger. Hopefully an international model is used so that it is possible to get hold of one in Europe, too... I don't know which Nokia models are available in the US.
