I'm considering buying a PRS-300 in the near future, but I'm put off by the whole battery thing.
I know the 500/505 has a OEM available (and I have no issues with cracking a case), but I've seen nothing mentioned for the Pocket Edition.

The Li-Ion is supposed to have a 2 year average lifespan. To me that kind of sucks. I still use a 10 year old mp3 player, I expect more from my electronics.

Has anyone opened one of these and know what battery it uses?
Heck, I'd just love to see pics of the inside.
