Note: This is NOT an unbiased e-book reader review! I love the Amazon Kindle 2! If you are looking for a “fair and balanced” look into the Amazon 2 wireless reading device, go elsewhere!
There is an amazing new line of e-book readers developed for the person on the go. Of course, ebook readers are not a new concept. There have been many styles of ebook readers on the market for years, starting with the Franklin EBookMan back in 1999. When you are considering buying an ebook reader, there are some things that separate the standard models from their feature-filled cousins. What makes the Amazon Kindle 2 such a great thing to have is its size. It can hold a lot of information, doesn’t weigh very much and is user friendly. A company called E Ink Technologies Corporation developed a one hundred and sixty-six resolution simulated paper that looks so astonishingly similar to the real thing that it is hard to tell the difference.
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.
While the first e-book readers were designed to hold up to 200 novels, the new Amazon Kindle 2 can hold over 1500 tomes. Though that may seem like more words than anyone would care to read, the point is that you can carry an entire library inside the device. It is a mere one-third of an inch thick and only weighs ten ounces, which is less than a typical paperback. This makes for portable, pleasurable reading.
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.
Kindles are fascinating devices. Try carrying around over 1,500 books yourself. That would be hard on the shoulders but this device can do it. Find out more by clicking here: Amazon Kindle 2
