sounds like a noob question:
what battery is kobo using?

Presumably it would be whatever battery comes standard in a Netronix EB-600.

I have read a comment here before that the kobo is simply a rebranded Netronix eb600. Just wonder what evidence we have that this is true.

Well, look at the thing for one. All the buttons and ports are in the correct place. I also imagine it would show up on the pictures displaying the tear down.

the battery inside is a hecell lithium ion battery - with a capacity of 1000mAh. there's a thread here about the other innards:

thanks for the information.
1000HM...could be the smallest battery in a ereader....

technically, can a 1000hm battery support 8000-pages-turn???

thekidintheclock · 07-09-2010, 04:57 PM

most of the others that have 1000mAh batteries also claim 7000-8000 page turns. (see the lines in the grid called "power" and "battery life")

so, Looks like technically, 1000hm means 8000 pages.
And this is where "8000" comes from...
