 short life plus out of stock equals stupid December 16, 2008
I'm doing what I can to prolong battery life but with heavy use, lots of wiki/web/shop/note taking, and previous paging etc., 3-4 months is tops. I can overlook this problem knowing Amazon will likely improve it soon. But when it's compounded with the frequent out of stock issue I say enough already. Kindle is important to Mr.Bezos and Amazon has more than enough purchasing muscle to hustle their suppliers along. Equally important, Amazon must subtantially increase their operating inventory of Kindle batteries to reflect the shorter-than-expected life. I suggest anytime we experience these out-of-stock problems we let Customer Service know. I will copy/paste this to them.
 Kindle battery dissapoints me big time December 3, 2008
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.

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.

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

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.
