I loaned my kindle keyboard to a coworker for a trip and it was stolen from them in mexico. The joke was at the time it was probably the oldest working kindle possible, so I assume the thief just took whatever was in the bag.

Later I found another kindle keyboard for $20 in a flea market but it only worked for 6 months before the battery died. I still have the body around - I wonder how much it would cost to get a replacement battery.



I just replaced two, a new battery inc. shipping runs around $15

not too hard to pop open and swap in


It's probably a single cell so with some luck you can plonk whatever battery physically fits in there.


Batteries for it are pretty readily available across the Internet so you can get the exact right one. It's about 2 minutes worth of work to change.
