After the success of the original wireless reading device from Amazon, the Kindle 2 has been designed to enhance the experience for all users. They went back to the shop and added on a few extra features as suggested by buyers of the first version.
More Storage
This newer version has had the built in storage capacity extended. Now you can upload over 1,500 book titles. You can carry your whole library with you all the time in the palm of your hands. At the same time all those titles are backed up automatically for you on the Amazon servers.
Sharper Display
Unlike computer screens, the screen on this device has been designed to read like real paper. With this new version they have made the images sharper than ever with 16 shades of gray for super crisp pictures. The enhanced paper display makes it easier to read your books, even in bright sunlight.
Longer battery life
The battery power has been improved too, and now lasts longer. You can now read for days without charging your Kindle 2 due to the longer battery life. You do not really need to carry your charger around all the time you can just leave it home and charge your device from there.
They have also added a new text to speech feature as well as Portable Document Format (PDF) support. However the original main features are still available too. You can still buy a book and have it delivered to you in less than 60 seconds, in your house, on the beach or virtually anyway. Let us not forget the easy access to hundreds of thousands of book titles in the Kindle store at a cheaper price than the hard copy versions.

Anyone who owns or is considering buying a Kindle 2 has no doubt heard of the recent launch of the Kindle DX. If you are the former, this could be a great time to upgrade and if you are the latter, it could be a tough decision you have to make. When you are looking to spend the kind of money the Kindle costs, you don’t want to leap without looking. But if you do your research beforehand, you can be assured you will get the model that works best for you.The older of the two models, the Kindle 2, offers a few less features and is a bit smaller, but also comes with a smaller price tag. The Kindle 2 is 8″ x 5.3″ x 0.36″ and has a 6″ diagonal screen. It weighs just over half a pound at 10.2 ounces and is great as a highly portable ebook reader. The Kindle 2 comes with 2 GB of memory, which can hold around 1,500 books, more than enough to fit most people’s libraries inside. At around $359 it is significantly cheaper than the new DX as well.The new Kindle DX comes onto the market with a bigger is better attitude. The unit itself is 10.4″ x 7.2″ x 0.38″, but it boasts a huge 9.7″ screen with an auto-rotating feature. This means you can switch between landscape and portrait just by turning the device, making it great for newspapers or picture-heavy kid’s books. But this size means it weighs more as well. Nearly twice as much at a hefty 18.9 ounces. The Kindle DX has twice the capacity to hold books, boasting of a 4GB hard drive. It can also natively read PDF files which is a huge convenience as the previous models required file conversion. All these features are available at the price of $489.Don’t think that just because the Kindle DX is newer and sports bigger numbers that it is the only one you should consider. The Kindle 2 has size to its advantage. While the DX might be great for reading at home, the Kindle 2 is far more portable. It will also save you a big chunk of change. If you are willing to pay for the extra size and features, the DX is a great piece of technology. But the Kindle 2 still has more than enough to offer most people. If you are just looking for a way to replace ratty old books or cut down on how many textbooks you’re hauling around, the Kindle 2 has a lot to offer. Whichever one you decide is right for you, you’re getting a device that will keep you reading whatever you want whenever you want.
