Look at the camera battery on the KNFB reader, they allow us to change and recharge it and even give us a spair. See, KNFB thinks we are capable. Terry Powers

We users who pay through the nose for these things just can't be trusted to properly replace batteries. So, bye bye with the cell phones that we can take batteries out of, the remote controls, and every one of the thousands of other gadgets with a user replaceable battery. As someone who considers himself good with my hands, I am insulted by this logic and I shouldn't have to send my unit back to the big bad HW and be without it for a couple of weeks simply to get a stupid battery replaced. Sure, not everyone is as able to work with their hands, but if batteries were user replaceable, I bet most of us could find someone to help us replace the battery if needed. BTW, the Braille Sense, a Braille Note competitor does have replaceable batteries. Guess GW trusts its customers a little more to know how to replace a stinking battery or something.
