Finally!
I got very tired of waiting...and waiting...and waiting for the Amazon battery to become available. I saw this option and gave them a try. Standard shipping had the new battery to me in 5 days (weekend in between). I am very pleased to report I am now back to charging my half dead battery once a week instead of once a day. It takes about a week for this battery to reach half capacity and this is with me never turning it off. I only turn on the net when I check Kindle daily posts or if I know I have a subscription on the way. So my net use is very limited.
But what a relief to get a good working battery on demand as we have all become so accustomed to instant gratification. I may just order another to keep around for the future.

I've had my Kindle 1 for about 18 months - for the first year the battery lasted for 2 weeks at a time - the last 3 months 15 minutes of whispernet would drop my battery by half and I had to charge every couple days - I'd had much better luck than most with the battery but it was time for a new one. As the Amazon battery was out of stock I purchased this instead. I wish I'd waited. This battery is worse than my 18 month old Amazon one. With no whispernet the battery needs to be recharged in less than 8 hours reading and whispernet drains the battery in minutes. I'm going to try an Amazon replacement instead.

Battery works so far. It's in stock, which is more than I can say for Amazon's version.
