Signs point to user-replaceable battery in Amazon\'s next-generation Kindle
Amazon may add a user-replaceable battery to its next-generation Kindle e-reader, after references to a battery replacement kit, guidance documents and a battery diagnostics menu were spotted in a Kindle 5.19.4 firmware update, TechRadar reported. Users said they saw related strings in firmware that was briefly published and then pulled. The move could align with an EU repairability timetable. Amazon is ending support for Kindles released before 2012 from May 20.
