Of course the battery replacement plan should be similar to the iPod plan

I use WordPerfect also. She ought to upgrade to the latest version,
X3. It has an excellent PDF creator built in. WP has had this
capability for the last several versions, but the X3 version is most
complete.

This is a non-issue. These batteries typically last longer that the
useful life of the product. Apple typically picks up the cost for
premature failures. This smarter design is also a very fair tradeoff
for a slimmer, simpler device with a longer battery charge. That is a
daily benefit.

WordPerfect is a far superior product to Word.
Later versions of WordPerfect have a print-to-PDF function built into it. I'm
not sure which version that started with. It's certainly true of the most
