Its been 2 weeks and 2 days since I got my Kindle 2 and after reading through 4 full books I absolutely LOVE IT. Reading a book on Kindle 2 is -Very enjoyable. Light weight and thin Kindle 2 is convenient to carry around andhold in your hand.
The new Kindle 2 Ebook Reader also ships with 2GB of onboard memory that can store up to 1,500 books -- Kindle had 180MB of memory, good for just 200 books. In the end, the Kindle 2 is a welcome update to the original Kindle design, but still doesn't change the ebook game in the way that the iPod did for digital music.
After 10 minutes of non-use, the Kindle 2 will go into sleep mode. And speaking of the Kindle 2's sleep mode, when it's in sleep mode, there are some very nice screen savers shown. There is also a new Text-To-Speech feature that makes the Kindle 2 read every book, blog, or magazine and newspaper out loud to you.
Kindle 2's 6-inch, 600 x 800 electronic paper display provides 16 shades of gray versus 4 shades available in the original Kindle, resulting in crisp text, and sharper images and photos. Kindle 2 customers can read for four to five days on one charge with wireless on and for over two weeks with wireless turned off. And because we know you can't judge a book by its cover, Kindle 2 lets you download and read the beginning of books for free.
Home shows the content stored on your Kindle 2 as well as content archived at Amazon. And even more interesting is the fact that Amazon's press release mentioned: Kindle 2 will also sync with a range of mobile devices in the future. The back of the Kindle 2 reminds me a lot of the back of an iPod or the 1st generation iPhone.
With its 16-level gray scale screen, the Kindle 2 packs one of the best e-Book reader displays we've seen, trumping the displays found on the original Kindle and on Sony's PRS-700, both of which only handle 8 levels of gray scale. For connectivity, the Kindle 2 uses Amazon's Whispernet data service for downloading content. At slightly more than a third of an inch thick, Kindle 2 is a lot thinner and a tad taller than the original.
Pricing and availability of the Kindle 2 will set you back US $359. Although the "text to speech" is computer generated, I was impressed by its natural flow and intonation on the Kindle 2. In addition to the memory, Kindle 2 has an improved display that reads like real paper, with 16 shades of gray, for clear text and crisp images. The Kindle 2 also turns pages 20% faster than the original.
With there being so many great features to the Kindle 2, it is no wonder that more and more people are buying one of their own. Whether you are relaxing at home or on your way to the airport to catch a flight for a business meeting, it is important to make sure that you have the technology that will provide you with both your entertainment and professional needs.
