Amazon Launches Kindle 2 Today - Same Price Better Features

INTRODUCING AMAZON KINDLE 2

Amazon.com today introduced Amazon Kindle 2, the new reading device that offers Kindle’s revolutionary wireless delivery of content in a new slim design with longer battery life, faster page turns, over seven times more storage, sharper images, and a new read-to-me feature. Kindle 2 is purpose-built for reading with a high-resolution 6-inch electronic paper display that looks and reads like real paper, which lets users read for hours without the eyestrain caused by reading on a backlit display.

Kindle 2 is available for pre-order starting today for $359 and will ship February 24.

Does anybody already us a Kindle?
Or plan to buy one?

I'm not sure - it's the price of a netbook and I can read books on my laptop. If the screen quality really feels like paper then maybe... but there are already 1000s of free books out there why pay for the privilege of reading them through a proprietary device?

" Is it worth it? Does it mean carrying around both a laptop and kindle?" A Kindle can carry newspapers, magazines, etc. in addition to holding many books at the same time. So carrying a Kindle and a laptop would probably take up less room (and maybe even less weight) than lugging a laptop and a newspaper, book, etc. For me, the price is still too high.

The money (of which there are the pictures LoL) is something I would give for the books (of which Kindle & Kindle 2 provide pictures). That's why I prefer just books to all the virtual writings Amazon can (also) give you. Money is getting further-and-further away from a currency and closer-and-closer to 'a bunch of useless numbers.' That's why I struggle to help validate money's worth. ---GET MONEY FREE for having fans ONLINE, writing about Buddhist Chant, Dr. Hot4Words, Time-Travel, Divine Art

Amazon Kindle 2 - is it worth it?

At $349 that's about the same price as a netbook or cheap laptop. Is it worth it? Does it mean carrying around both a laptop and kindle? Join Xomba Here
