The Kindle 2 is a very impressive new version of Amazon's ereader. There are a few improvements over the original version of the Kindle. These include the thickness, storage space, and battery life.
There are many other new features on the Kindle 2 that you might not be aware of. Here are some of the reasons that I purchased the latest Kindle.
The Kindle 2 has a very nice new QWERTY keyboard. The shape and position of the keys on the keyboard has also been changed and, in my opinion, its much nicer.
I really like the 5 way joystick that they've included on the Kindle 2. It makes the navigation so much easier than on the original Kindle which just had a scroll bar and was difficult to get exactly where you wanted to be on the Kindle screen.
Although the Kindle 2 does not have an SD card slot like the Kindle 1 it has much more storage capability. It holds over 1,500 books right on the device itself so there really isn't much need for an SD card slot.
Even though we still don't have color on the new Kindle we do have 16 shades of gray. The Kindle 1 had only 4 shades. Picture viewing will now be much nicer on the Kindle although not as nice as color. I'm thinking that color will be coming out on the next version.
The placement of the Next Page buttons is much better and prevents having so many accidental page turns. This may not seem like such a big deal but the accidental page turns on the Kindle 1 really started to get annoying after a while.
While the Kindle 1 was very thin, the Kindle 2 is even thinner - about 1/3 of an inch thick. It is also very compact and light so it makes it very easy to carry around in your purse or briefcase.
You can read for a few days on a single charge. The battery life is about 25% longer than with the original Kindle. If you remember to turn off the wireless feature when not using your Kindle 2, you can make the charge last even longer, over one week.
The Text-to-Speech feature is also a very cool feature that is new on the Kindle 2. This can come in handy if you want to have your book read to you while your hands are tied up. The only problem is that not all books have this feature enabled although most do.
These are just a few of the reasons that I ended up buying the Kindle 2 even though I already had the Kindle 1. I wasnt sure if it was going to be worth the price when I first bought it but now Im very happy with my purchase and if youre an avid reader like me Im sure youll love the Kindle 2 also.
