Gently pry the bezel off the screen using a plastic opening tool. Start at the corners and slide around the edges until you return to your starting point.
-
-
-
Use extreme caution when prying up the bezel. Be careful not to allow your pry tool to fall underneath the display. Look under the cover as you work, separating the display from the adhesive of the bezel.
-
You want to make sure your separator goes through both sides of the bezel over top of the display.
-
The second photo is the layer you want your tool to pass through safely.
-
The third photo is an example of what can go wrong. If this happens your digitizer layer will misread touches and the display is permanently damaged.

Unscrew the eleven 3.2 mm Phillips #000 screws surrounding the frame.
Mine had 11, as per the instructions, one of which was hidden under tape. I cut an opening in it.
Should have read Glover's comment.
Looked for the middle screw but the black tape covered all appearances of it. Lifting the mid-frame out of the case snapped the mount. However, there was plenty of support with the ten screws and no lasting damage to the reader.

Gently lift the mid-frame out of the case with your hands.

Gently lift the battery from the frame.
We had a Kindle that unfortunately took a dunk in (clean) water. It was then inoperative. I followed this guide, and took the battery out, let everything dry for a few days, then replaced the battery. Now it works fine! Thanks!

Tip, heat the front bezel to soften the glue.
I totally know how to fix my kindle but I don’t know where to get the part. I broke the tip to the ribbon cable for the only %#*@ button on the device. do they sell those here?
Be very careful along the lower left side, where the cable to the touchscreen can be easily cut with a plastic spudger.

Be careful at the top of the 3G version. The wifi and cell antennas are located along here.

I can’t get my spudger in to start lifting. Any advice?

it takes a bit of force to first insert the spudger into the crack

Be careful inserting the spudger too quickly. The glue holding the screen pulled loose in two spots along the side before the bezel did and there are lines along the border of my screen now.

I made my own version of Nick’s error: I inserted a pick too far under the bezel, and very slightly separated the screen, leaving a small shadow in a corner. Easy does it!
Other than that, battery replacement was super-easy and successful.

I couldn't get a purchase from the outside, so started from the inside of the bezel. It was secured with double sided tape. Might have been better to apply some heat before prying.

Used the guide to replace the battery. Could not get enough separation using the blue spudger. Used the metal spidger to get things started then switched to the blue picks. Afterthought, Warming the bezel would have helped.
