i am completely unhappy with this product. i bought the battery because i was going overseas and wanted it as a spare in case i had voltage/electricity issues so wanted to charge it before i left. $20 seemed a small price to pay for the insurance of knowing i would always have a book to read while i was away-i was going to a lesser developed country. i got the battery and could not figure out how to get the old battery out. it seemed obvious until i tried to actually take it out. i looked in the user mannual-no help. called the Kindle 800# and the guy who answered admitted he had no idea how to get it out. he couldn't find instructions either. to his credit, he went to find a kindle to see the issue for himself. after several attempts, he couldn' get it out either. to get the current one out it quickly became clear that you would destroy the battery in the process. he had to agree it was a poor design and he couldn't get his out. he promised to let the knidle people know this was a problem so i would advise that unless you are ready to destroy the one you are taking out, don't buy this as a spare. as much as i love the kindle and i do, is as much as i hate this battery housing design
 Review of Kindle Replacement Battery August 30, 2008

I now manage my Kindle battery better than initially and am experiencing better longevity than with the original as a result.
I use its internet only whenever downloading subscriptions or books and I turn the device off completely whenever it is not in use.

I do not own a Kindle but I want one. I wont buy one until the issue with the battery is taken care of. I have read the reviews and when I'm spending over 300.00 bucks on an item I do not expect to be inconvienced and then have to pay for it (you have to be kidding me you're ok buying a battery just because it costs 20.00 bucks? it shouldnt cost you anything). I want to thank everyone who wrote about the battery issue. I was going to get one of these for my dad (and myself) who is 75 for his birthday but he is not going to know what to do if the battery fails. I will rekindle my desire when The Kindle is ready to accomodate me.
Spare Kindle Battery August 13, 2008

I have not used the spare replacement battery I purchased with my kindle,
but having it on hand for that day when I will need it eliminates any
concern that an interruption in the use of the kindle is going to happen.
Need a Better Kindle Battery! July 28, 2008

I love my Kindle, but the battery is pathetic and lasted only 4 months! After paying $400 for the Kindle and $9.99 for each book, who wants to pay $20 two or three times a year? Very disappointed!
