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.

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.

Battery is horrible
I love my Kindle, but I am so upset as I have not been able to read sinse October as they have no batteries in stock. I paid all that money for it, and now I have to purchase books at a book store because they have no batteries for it. Totally rediculous. The battery only lasted about 3 months, and I recharged it all the time. I have tried to order 2 so I will have an extra on hand, but to no avail. Sorry AMAZON you rreally should have better batteries, and certainly keep them in stock. THis is way too long... more info
