Kindle 7th Generation Repairability Score: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

Simple, modular design with few, distinct components that can be replaced independently.

Easy opening procedure—clips supplemented by mild adhesive are all that hold the front bezel in place.

Battery adhesive is much stronger than necessary, making its replacement hazardous.

Lack of available replacement parts has limited repair options in other Kindle models. We can only hope this model doesn't share the same fate.
