The EU Battery Regulation mandates that by February 18, 2027, all portable devices—including e-readers—must feature batteries that are easily removable and replaceable by the end-user.

    ALL portable devices

    There are exceptions for small devices, I believe smart watches, perv glasses and wireless earbuds are exempt. Not sure about wireless headphones and speakers.

    I hope they’ll continue with other electronics on batteries, like toothbrushes and trimmers etc.

      It’d be nice if the legislation still affected those small devices but just had a lower threshold of requirement

      Thank you for providing extra context!
