The new Kindle 2.0 has arrived! Wow...the design is sleeker, there's a lot more storage, the battery life is longer, and...you can download your choice of 240,000 books in less than 60 seconds!
Here is the latest and greatest information on one of the coolest gadgets to hit the market. Those of you who don't own a Kindle will be especially interested - version 2.0 is the only one available for purchase now unless you want to buy a used version 1.0 reader.
So what makes the Kindle 2.0 special?
- For starters, you'll never run out of things to read. You can choose from over 240,000 titles offered for sale by both WhisperNet and Amazon. There are also more than 7,000 books you can download for free - all of which are classics now considered to be part of the public domain.
- Kindle 2.0 has a "Read to Me" feature that will translate the text into speech. We're curious to hear exactly how that will sound, but it's sort of intriguing.
- The screen on the Kindle 2.0 is much improved over the one that was on the original version. Your page will be crisper, clearer, and easier to read.
- The Kindle 2.0 has a really sharp design. It's small and compact and reports say that it's thinner than the average iPod and iPhone. This is really important to today's technologically oriented crowd. Why replace a book with a bulky piece of machinery?
- Kindle 2.0 has an instant dictionary feature which makes it easy for you to look up words you don't know without having to get up, grab a big dusty book, and stray even further away from your reading.
The price? $359...that's a small investment for something that you'll be able to use for a really long time and, hey, we're saving trees while we're at it!
