Gen3 Cybook battery replacement

Sharone · 06-09-2011, 12:27 PM

Hi guys

I've had my cybook gen3 since (almost) the start and the battery is starting to deteriorate.
I vaguely remember someone posting that they found the manufacturer and bought from them. Anyone knows which thread i'm talking about? Can you please point me to it? Not really willing to pay b00keen prices

Thanks!

Hi Sharone,

I'm in the same boat as you, and I would also be interested in any reply.

Can't help you with the thread, but if you know which end of a soldering iron to hold, or you know someone who does, it's trivial to adapt a suitably sized cell phone battery (or one for RC models, though one has to be careful working with those) to run in an e-reader.

Sharone and JOZAWUN, Pocketbook Germany and Pocketbook USA are selling batteries for the Pocketbook 360 at about 15 Euro. This device uses the same battery as the Cybooks use.

I can't find them now. The only place where I can find them is in the Bookeen site, at 30€

Can't say anything about the quality, but this ebay seller has them in stock since a while (and he seems to send to Spain, too).
