You Need A Kindle 2: Find Out why.
With 20% faster page turning and improved ergonomics, the makers of Kindle 2 have made the experience of reading a book, periodical or blog an even more enjoyable one. While the Kindle 2 may weigh less than the average paperback book, it employs electronic paper technology that provides an experience similar to reading words on a piece of paper. There's no need to worry about eye-strain with the Kindle 2, because you have the option to adjust the text size to suit your needs.
The redesigned Kindle 2 ebook reader got favorable reviews at the launch in New York City. [1] The connectivity needed to download books and browsing certain other sites is free of charge: The Kindle Store enables you to download, display and use on your Device a variety of digitized electronic content, such as books, subscriptions to magazines, newspapers, journals and other periodicals, blogs, RSS feeds, and other digital content. With the new Text-to-Speech feature, Kindle 2 can read every book, blog, magazine, and newspaper out loud to you.
Personally, I like the size of the reader, but would consider jumping up to a larger screen if the footprint isn't too big. If you're an avid reader such as myself, buy one and you're hooked. I was a sceptic about any ebook reader, but since purchasing my Kindle last year, I can't imagine my reading life without it.
With Kindle 2 Amazon kept everything readers love about the original Kindle"the convenience of reading what you want, when you want it, the immediacy of getting a book wirelessly delivered in less than 60 seconds, and Kindle 2s ability to disappear in your hands so you can get lost in the authors words. The Kindle 2 actually feels comfortable in my hand now"unlike the original Kindle which is much to angular and sharp-edged to be comfortable after an hour of reading. You will be able to eat with both hands while reading your current read.
Like some other electronic paper products, the Kindle 2 uses "e-ink" technology, which serves to make the letters and words on the screen look more printlike in their appearance. A lot of people, when they first see the screen, are genuinely impressed. The 600-by-800-resolution screen is the same size, measuring 6 inches; but now, packing the latest E-Ink technology, it gives you 16 shades of gray versus the 4 shades available on the original Kindle.
Amazon pays for Kindles wireless connectivity so you wont see a monthly wireless bill. Especially with the wireless capability to get what I want on demand. With wireless off, it can go two weeks without recharging.
My Predictions/Wishes:Kindle as a standard for newspaper/magazine delivery: I think Amazon will either buy a newspaper or a big Newspaper publisher will invest heavily in Kindle or their own ebook readers. I buy all my books on amazon anyways so the kindle 2 is a logical method of ebook delivery. I was able to check my Yahoo email, Twitter and Facebook easily.
Amazon Kindle 2 is the hot new e-book reader for those who have moved way past the paper back. The more portable power charger is another great added function, though the improved battery life for the Kindle 2 also allows it to last upto 4 days with wireless turned on and 2 weeks with the wireless powered off. The Kindle 2 reader is the perfect device for the person on the go.
