Customer Review: The Kindle Battery
Summary: 2 Stars
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}Customer Review: Kindle battery
Summary: 1 Stars
I was given the Kindle last September as a gift. I love using it. However,
I am on my THIRD battery! It is not even a year old.
I don't keep the Kindle powered up when not reading, and rarely go on line to order books (takes away too much battery life). I only use the battery to turn the page.
I know this is a problem for Amazon. I just wonder if they are working on a solution or does Jeff want me to buy the new version or the new nine inch? Perhaps Amazon can let us know what they are doing to correct this problem?

Customer Review: Need Kindle 1 Battery
Summary: 1 Stars
My Kindle 1 is about 8 months old & quit working - not sure if it's the battery, but after a phone call to amazon that is what was suggested. So, they are giving me a free battery - the only problem is that the battery is out of stock. I ordered it on 7/21/09 & am still waiting for one. Good thing I still have plenty of hardback & paperback books. I will not be very happy if once I finally get a battery the Kindle still won't work. Then I'll have to waste more time talking to amazon again and getting the kindle replaced as it is still under warranty.Customer Review: Not really plug n play
Summary: 3 Stars
I was excited that someone thought ahead and provided for a battery swap. Problem it is not exactly just pop out and pop in like many cell phone batteries are designed. This requires pulling on some cables that are fragile to unplug it. Sort of like the older home phones. It should have had the contacts hardwired so it was a quick swap.
I guess they really designed this just for one the old battery dies, you can replace it without sending it back to the factory.
I guess the next version of the Kindle will be better:)
Customer Review: Got a spare already!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay so i am going contrary to most reviews. But so few are favorable, perhaps this will be read and help someone avoid a problem.
Am not allowing the unit to discharge close to empty so
the battery in the unit appears aok so far. Have found other rechargeable batteries-- that i have used -- do not like to be drained too many times either...my camera as an example, and my cell phone also.
Support all of those who are unhappy with this short life fault---
