 Short Battery Life July 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't consider having a swappable battery a feature - as much as a common sense engineering decision. I can understand to some small extent why the iPod doesn't - as they are shooting for extreme size reduction. However even in their case - it was a mistake.
The issue with the Kindle battery is that they die too fast - I'm getting 3-4 months before the battery fails to hold a charge - I just ordered two more because my last one after charging all night held the charge for almost 15 minutes - not useful.
I suspect this is either very poor quality control in the Chinese made battery or a design flaw in the charging circuit. In any case Amazon really needs to look into this.

I bought a replacement battery and it may prove useful BUT a longer lived battery is badly needed. When I connect to download, I can see the charge decreasing while I wait! Otherwise, in the course of ordinary reading I don't get much more than 4 hours (estimated) . The replacemant battery performs the same way. A longer cord on the charger would be helpful.

I love the ebook reader. It takes a while to download an ebook since I live in a green area' but worth it. I do not like the book cover as the reader slips out while I am using it. Develop a better cover and I will buy it...cas
C'mon; it's cheaper than a watch battery! June 13, 2008

Imagine my chagrin when I went to read a book on my Kindle and it was dead. I was SO sure that this was another product which had failed the test of time. Imagine my relief when my spare battery promptly fixed the problem and it cost me under $20. There is no fee for the whispernet; no continuing fees at all for the Kindle. (Hey, Amazon folks, if you are listening that is a compliment- not an invitation to think up some fees ). As well, it DOES have a replaceable battery. I am buying two more and thanking Amazon for making it possible to simply change a battery and read ON..................
 extra battery June 6, 2008

I have not used my extra battery but just wanted one on hand in case and when it was needed. At $19.99, I felt I could afford to have a spare on hand. I just could not go back to the time before Kindle. I will always keep a spare battery but have had my Kindle 6 months and have not needed it yet. My Kindle has opened up a whole new world for me.
