I've heard it's not easy and if it's anything like swapping the drive in the
iceBook, you're looking at a 3 hour job. I've done it three times and it
doesn't seem to get any faster.

One tip I'd like to suggest. It seems like no two screws are alike inside so
DON'T mix them up. Print out the instructions at the link showing the iBook
at different stages. Then as you remove a screw just poke it through picture
at the corresponding point. It makes the process so much easier.
