Amazon Releases Kindle 2

The much anticipated release of the new Kindle has come. Amazon officially released it today at 10 am Eastern Time.


Among the new features are better placed buttons, increased storage capacity, 16 shades of gray for added color depth, skinnier form, and increased battery life. Kindle 2 also has the ability to read books to you and to sync between Kindles. Pricing remains the same, $359. Kindle 1 owners get shipping priority (their orders ship first) on the February 24 release date.

I sure do love my Kindle. Kindle books comprise 10% of Amazon's book sales, so I am not alone in my opinion. The new features look great and would be enticing if you don't own a Kindle yet (I am happy and don't need to upgrade). Pretty cool!
