Customer Review: Battery Life
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: Bad battery and no available replacement

After 4 months of use, the battery in my Kindle no longer holds a charge. I can only use my Kindle now by using the AC adapter. That means I need to be 5 feet from an electrical outlet or start buying a bunch of extension cords. I've been trying since the beginning of Dec 2008 (it is now mid Feb 2009) to get a replacement battery but they have been on backorder with no signs of when they will be back in stock. I just heard about the Kindle2. Hopefully the new version uses a battery that is compatible with the Kindle1 (only better quality). If they use compatible batteries, maybe there will be more batteries on the market.Customer Review: Kindle 1 battery

I had read on the discussion boards that these were difficult to get. I had also seen horror stories that it took 6 months to get one after they were ordered. Maybe it was my lucky day, but I had mine by the next afternoon when I got home from work. My Kindle is no longer freezing every few days of reading and the new battery lasts more than the day and a half it was lasting before being replaced. If you are having trouble on your Kindle with VERY slow page turns, very short battery life, and you are having to hit that reset button every couple of days, order a new battery. It will fix the problems.
Customer Review: Well, it's back to print!

Hello!
I've been enjoying my Kindle for just over a year now, but the battery quit, and I have been waiting for a replacement battery for a month now. When I saw the many letters complaining about the problems getting a replacement battery I became very alarmed! This is not a cheap toy! And I'm not about to purchase the Kindle 2 just because batteries aren't forthcoming. So I'm joining the chorus of your very disappointed customers.
It's a good job books are still available in print form--I can go back to enjoying them as I have for many years.
But I do feel a bit "had" by Amazon.
Customer Review: Battery Life Untenable
Summary: 1 Stars
My first battery, with moderate usage, was good for about 6 months. I had the wireless on all the time and the standby time was acceptable. Once I hit the 6 month mark the battery wouldn't keep a charge more than a few hours so after reading similar reviews I ordered a replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement hasn't faired much better. It will only keep a charge, WITHOUT use, for barely a day, then dies. I love the device, but this is unacceptable. Luckily, I can still read my books (but not my subscriptions) on my iPod Touch, but I would still like to use the device I spent so much money for.
