Kindle 1 (1st Generation) Battery
I'm looking for a replacement battery for an old original Kindle that's still in service.
I know newpower99 has these, but they are $25. A quick google shows people selling then from $10-30. I don't understand why there is such a spread on pricing. Can anyone recommend a reliable dealer that maybe isn't double the price like newpower99? |

Considering that Sprint seems to be discontinuing their 2g and 3g networks, which is what the kindle 1 is using (and given the reports of kindles that use Sprint completely losing network connectivity, they already have in some areas), it might not be worth buying a new battery, just saying.

We side load books, so we probably wouldn't notice.

But I bought my Kindle 1 used so I don’t know how the original battery performed. newpower99 seems to have a good reputation; I would probably try them if and when I need a battery for my K1 or K3. |
