Not having a pop-out battery like many other small electronic devices is a scam in my book. Call it what you want that is what I believe it is.
I love my reader but it will be my last.

You don't need to work in a SOny factory and "have done 1100 of them" to replace the battery. I've taken my 500 apart just for fun, and the battery is sitting right there, easily replaceable. If you are afraid to touch it, I'm sure you have a semi-competent friend somewhere who could do it easily. For reference, my 2.5-year-old 500 is still going strong, with 2 weeks between charges and daily use. The 505 (almost 2 years old) is still going strong but semi-retired now since I got a 300.
But whatever. Some of us learn what we can do to make things work when necessary, and some just gripe.
