Thanks for the info Barry. One of the "new" batteries I ordered was from newpower99 and it's on its way back for a refund, as my experience was the same as you described. I can't believe they are simply shipping out old batteries since nobody would be satisfied with them and they'd all come back for refunds...but you never know!

Others advised me to buy a new $99 Kindle that is the current version of my old one. It's crazy to have to buy a new unit for the lack of the darn battery for an old one, but that might be Amazon's thinking in not supplying replacement batteries. I didn't see any alternative...so a new Kindle is on order.
