Where can I purchase the battery?
Fairly easy to do. Saves a lot of money compared to buying a whole new Kindle :) Thank you for this! A note: I've never seen batteries as...soft as these. Take care when using the removal tool. I could be easy to puncture the battery which could cause a big mess and possibly injury.
My old battery got seriously deformed during removal, but didn't puncture or tear. I added a picture to the guide, so that hopefully the next person is not as alarmed as I was :)

The link to buy a replacement battery on amazon is dead. Ideas on an alternate source?
