Summary: Kindle battery dissapoints me big time
Date: 2008-12-03 -
Comment: The replacement battery and the original lasted about three months each. Not happy. I read a lot, I was under the impression the first time was a fluke, guess not. And since they are back ordered I am SOL but so is Amazon but they will now lose an easy $50 or more from me ordering every month plus I had planned to buy one each for my son and daughter for Christmas. I like Amazon but I want quality and when I want to order I want it available. Suggestion, for those that go through a lot make an offer of automatic shipments of battery at a discount or make the battery last longer.

Comment: I purchased a replacement battery because I wanted on on hand. I haven't tried it yet as I still have no need. Thanks again.

Comment: The spare battery works as advertised. I didn't want a Kindle that could die because the one battery for it expired.

Comment: I love my Kindle and was looking forward to taking it with me out of town when unexpectedly as I was reading, the pages no longer turned and it just froze. I tried to charge it but it still would not function. Having had it only a couple of months, I couldn't understand what was wrong. Then I realized from reading the comments from other users that it was the battery. I hurried to order a new one but got a message that they were out of stock. This is really a let down. Surely they will not allow poor battery performance to undermine an otherwise very good product. I have no idea when I will receive the new battery they said they would send an e-mail when it is available.

Comment: i received my kindle 1/08, read more than 2 hours a day consistently, & turn on the wireless function daily for a minute or so to download my NY times latest news blog & occasionally to look up a book. it was time to replace my battery by the end of 10/08. that seems reasonable to me.
