Thanks for the part number! Google found some stores, but the batteries are nowhere in stock and they sell for absolute ridicules prices of 70 Euro or more.
For a little more I could get a new PRS-T2!

Would it be possible to exchange the battery with a close match? The actual charging circuit should be inside the battery, so any battery that would fit inside the case and has roughly the same capacity should work, right?

What are the physical dimensions of the original battery?
