2.0 out of 5 stars The Kindle Battery, July 22, 2008
By K. Wyatt "ssintrepid" (St. Louis, MO United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
First and foremost, Kindle is an exceptional product. That being said, the battery provided for it, is not. After less than three months of moderate use, the battery that came with the Kindle went from working great to flat dead. I would definitely recommend that you buy at least one extra battery to have around just in case you find yourself inconvenienced by this poor product. Fortunately for us, the pricing on this battery is fairly low. Hopefully, the manufacturer is looking into this and will be providing better batteries down the road. {ssintrepid}

1.0 out of 5 stars Short Battery Life, July 2, 2008
By Vince B. "Vince" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars battery died after 3 months, April 22, 2008
I love my Kindle and use it almost every day. However, after 3 months, my battery just died. I expected it to last longer. Luckily I had a spare. I was reading and the text froze. None of the buttons worked. When I turned off the device the page I was reading stayed on. It did not go away until I took out the old battery. I love my kindle but it looks like I need to have spares all the time.

The original battery in the Kindle died for reasons I don't understand. The replacement battery was a bit difficult to install, but it works fine.

2.0 out of 5 stars Weak, doesn't last
