Has anyone come up with a way of replacing the PRS-505 battery?

Thanks in advance....Bruce
$250 to replace the battery? I can get a brand new reader on on Amazon for $255 today. They must be high.

I was able to get a replacement battery for my iPod for $20 or so. But, then again, iPods are ubiquitios so there is some money to be made here.
