Yes, I do. That's what I read the books off of all the time.

It's been fine for a year or so. It's in the last month I've been
having this (new) hanging problem.

It's an intermittent problem. I read for an hour or two a day and it
happens maybe once a week. But I really don't think I changed any
software to make it start happening, so I'm guessing that it's the
hardware that changed.

I wouldn't have asked, but I googled and found a battery for under
$20. It seemed worth trying, versus $200 for a replacement.
