Kindle 2 is launched by Amazon
Amazon have launched the Kindle 2w ebook reader. With a sleek and thin design that makes Kindle 2 as thin as a typical magazine and lighter than a paperback, 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. And Kindle 2 even reads to you, with “Read to Me”, Text to Speech feature.
With Kindle 2 Amazon have kept everything that readers loved 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 for the new ebook reader.
It is currently available for pre order at $359 and Amazon expect to start shipping out orders later this month. To order go to Amazon Kindle 2 Order Page
