2 questions:

I have the 600, and I have a skin on it. Can you (or anyone) please tell me exactly where the screws are? I see two teeeeny tiiiny ones -one on top and one on the bottom of the reader. If the screws to take it apart are on the back, maybe someone can describe in detail so I may not have to peel off the whole skin? Or, even better, post a pic for me?

I unscrewed the screws but I can't slide anything anywhere, at least not without feeling I may break something. (Actually the guy at the battery store (below) had a teeeny screwdriver, but he wouldn't touch the ereader after that, lol. Guess I can't blame him, people need to be extra cautious). If those are the screws to access the guts, do I need to be braver and put a little oomph into it?

I stopped in a battery store and he said they don't carry generic batteries (and no ereader batteries), but I think maybe there's a chance he's wrong, and there may be a battery I can use. Ok, not technically wrong cuz if I found a battery it wouldn't be generic, tecknickly it would belong to another product. But I see hope ahead .
So, can anyone tell me what battery I'm looking for?

Pleasee, and thankee
