The Amazon Kindle 2 is a cool gadget, as well as a powerful e-book reader. This gadget has some benefits and features that surpass previous versions too. It was inevitable that newspapers, text and audio books, and blogs were due for some sort of an upgrade. In line with that thought, one of the largest online booksellers and now sellers of anything and everything that can be sent electronically have designed a sleeker, more portable and smaller version of a novel, newspaper, blog etc.
Just when I was beginning to think that other e-book readers were beginning to catch up with Amazon, the Amazon Kindle 2 was released–blowing away the competition. As the digital age firmly takes hold, people are moving away from paper copies of anything. In fact, I’ve noticed on my daily train commutes that more people entertain themselves on digital devices than with a newspaper.
The Amazon Kindle 2 is a wonderful upgrade from the original device. While the prior reader could hold 200 books, the new K2 can hold over 1500 titles. That is amazing to consider, since the device itself is a mere one-third of an inch thick and weighs only ten ounces. That is an entire library inside the form of a paperback.
There have been a few other improvements with the K2 wireless reading device over the original version. The display screen has been improved to more closely resemble reading from paper, with sixteen shades of grey for clearer text and crisper images. The battery life has been extended by twenty-five percent, and page turning is now twenty percent faster. It also has a feature that allows you to adjust the text size for your needs.
One of the latest novel features of the Amazon Kindle 2 is that it now has a text-to-speech function. This lets you have your magazines and newspapers read to you, if you so choose; and makes a wonderful companion when you drive or do other work, which requires visual concentration and your hands to be free. The K2 is exclusive to Amazon, where you have over 250,000 different book choices, plus a large assortment of magazines, newspapers and blogs. You can also download ebooks at a much lower price.
