This made me curious, so I emailed them a little while ago.....got a reply within 1/2 hour and here it is......
Hello,
Thanks for asking about the service options we have once you are outside the warranty period.
We learned from the first generation Kindle that changing the battery was rarely needed, so Kindle's battery is not replaceable by users.
The Kindle battery is covered under the initial one-year warranty, as well as the extended warranty offered on Amazon.com. Once you're outside the one- or two-year warranty period, you can get the battery replaced for $59 (plus $10 shipping and handling).
If you have any power or charging problems during the life of your Kindle, you can contact Kindle Support for assistance.
Our goal is to help you get the most out of your Kindle experience. If you need any warranty service on your Kindle, please contact customer support at
