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.
Kindle has shown that people are more willing than analysts think to read on devices other than books, and I think Kindle, and e paper in general, are going to be very popular. Kindle makes it easy to take your personal documents with you, eliminating the need to print. Kindle also includes free built-in access to the world's most exhaustive and up-to-date encyclopedia--Wikipedia.
I did my shopping on the all the eBook readers and as of right now (March 2009), the Kindle 2 is clearly the winner. From reviews of the other eBook readers, the Kindle 2 is also the most "natural" feeling and intuitive to hold for long hours of reading. The next-generation e-book reader is lighter and thinner, has a longer battery life, and now includes text-to-speech capability, but for $359, is it worth upgrading from the original.
Reading content on the Kindle is comfortable and easy to do; I know that some people have claimed that it takes you out of the reading experience, but I found the opposite to be true. Reading the blogs and newspapers is quicker on the Kindle 2 even though I do not like the new navigation buttons. It took some getting used to at first as I too love reading paper books and magazines.
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.
I want my news to be delivered each morning and the wireless subscriptions are perfect. Especially with the wireless capability to get what I wanted on demand. Kindle 2 is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box--no setup, no cables, no computer required.
I think eBook readers like this will be the future, eventually. However, I think that the advantages of eBooks over printed ones are great enough that the main factor affecting sales will be the popularity of reading vs that of listening to music. The wireless near-instant downloads of the kindle is what makes it superior to other ebook readers to me.
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.
