Customer Reviews

Orginal battery lasted almost a year
Unlike many other users I have had my Kindle for over a year. I now need to replace the original battery. Unfortunately, there is none available on Amazon's site. I should have bought a back-up months ago, but didn't read the write-ups that many people said theirs lasted only 3 or 4 months. I believe it prolongs the life of the battery to turn off the Whispernet when not in use. I also turn off the power switch when I'm done reading, as opposed to letting it just sleep as some users do, and I charge mine between uses, not letting it go down completely. Amazon recommends that as well. When my pages start turning slower I know it is time to recharge it.

I hope the new battery has better life than the originals did, but since I am on back-order I won't know until I get it. Still the Kindle is the best gift I have ever received, just love it!

kindle replacement battery
The battery has a disappointingly short life span. While it's great that replacement is possible I'm becoming increasingly annoyed that Amazon has such a long back order on the item. Amazon really dropped the ball on this one. I love my kindle but would hesitate to reccomend it to some one else because of this issue.

Kindle purchases and battery
My Dad had a stroke 12+ years ago. The Kindle is the ONLY thing that lets him read independently (1 side paralyzed, visual field disrupted), and getting it last year was a Godsend. HOWEVER: I have 2 major gripes, and they are MAJOR. (1) There is no way for other members of the family to purchase books and subscriptions for him for his Kindle (which we all wanted to do this Christmas); and (2) when the battery dies, your goose is cooked, because IT TAKES FOREVER to get a replacement. I ordered the new battery December 12, so that I would then be able to "play Santa" for the other family members when I arrived at my parents' house, and use my Dad's Kindle to order the various books and subscriptions people had in mind for him. One Big Problem: no battery arrived, and we hear only that it will "not be available by Dec 25" (no word about when it WILL be available). So now my Dad is unable to read, and we are unable to get him his Christmas reading wish list, and have no ides when that will be possible. No mistake: the Kindle is Wonderful, but this kind of bottleneck is way too short-sighted for such an otherwise advanced item - and for someone with my Dad's restrictions, the Godsend has turned into a Calamity. Let's hope it is short-lived!
