Amazon Kindle 2

The new Amazon kindle, a super slim and elegantly designed Book reader is all set to release this year. Kindle 2 seems to give more importance to beauty than any thing else in its new avatar. The smooth and brushed white metal finish with white curvy edges and slim design may make us think it is an "Apple reader" at first sight.

Kindle 2 has some cool features while it has dumped some of its features in the older versions. The new Kindle comes with a 6-inch screen with a 16-tone gray scale e-link display. This seems good, but still there is flicker between pages. It still needs some time to flick between pages. Reading the text with Kindle is still a great experience because it was such an amazing gadget. When talking of Kindle, it is from Amazon a place to buy products online securely and easily. Kindle is also best at this, buying books. Purchasing books and magazines from Kindle 2 can be done easily by clicking on the 3-G link.
You can use Kindle 2 to share your books between multiple devices through Whispersync. This allows you to buy book using Kindle and read it on any device you prefer. Kindle 2 now has text-to-speech support, which is exceptional. This gives more value to you as a user. The text-to-speech engine will read books for you and you need not have to strain your eyes much. The scroll wheels have vanished and instead you have super sensitive buttons to navigate from one page to other. The removable battery has gone and as has the SD slot.
Browsing the web with Kindle still remains a dream. Kindle 2 also bears the same burden. It is slow and really crawls at times. Loading PDFs from the web is still a problem. The e-link display needs to improve and the text appears softer. The image display quality has improved to 16-shade gray scale, which is a great improvement. Then the pricing of titles is very high. You have to pay up to Euro10 a pop.
The Kindle has changed its face in Kindle 2. I think you will love the super-slim, sleek, and light-weight design. With Wi-Fi, great storage space, and elegant design Kindle is everyone’s’ dream reader.
