i had a battery that wouldn't even last a full day in the end. by accident i let the battery fall below 10% charge and when turned on it only showed the battery icon. I fully charged it and now i am having no problems with it. what i think happened is it reset the batteries memory and that was the problem. worth trying anyway before buying a new battery.

Peel the front panel off to remove it from the Kindle.
If this is the first time the front panel has been removed, the adhesive may require a significant amount of force to undo.
To prevent damaging the front panel, peel the panel from the corners towards the middle of the Kindle.
When reassembling your device, if you are replacing the front panel, additional adhesive may be required.
