Imagine you could have an electronic book that would replace paper, update you with the top news papers of the world, and can holds over a thousand of your books all in one slick hand-held package. It's also another great way to go Green.
Here's the scoop:
The Kindle 2 is as thin as a typical magazine and lighter than a paperpack, the new Kindle has seven times more storage and now holds over 1,500 books. It has a longer battery life and faster page turns. An advanced display provides even crisper images and clearer text for an improved book-like reading experience. Kindle 2 even reads to you, with “Read to Me”, our new Text to Speech feature.
With the Kindle 2, Amazon kept everything readers love about the original Kindle; the convenience of reading what you want, when you want it, the immediacy of getting a book wirelessly delivered in less than 60 seconds, and Kindle’s ability to “disappear” in your hands so you can get lost in the author’s words. The Kindle Store has over 230,000 eBooks available.
Kindle 2 is available for pre-order starting today for $359 here and will ship later this month. They also have a wide variety of Kindle accessories available, including new covers from Cole Haan, Patagonia, Belkin and more.
