The New Kindle 2 Ebook Reader..

Tweet

As a MyLot contributor and book reader,You may be aware that Amazon has announced the release date for it's upgraded version of the Kindle E-book reader,the Kindle 2, later this month..Ok,it's now slimmer than the original,has better ergonomics, better battery life,and will now hold up to 1500 books...BUT..AFAIK,There were no complaints about the original unit's battery life,and though the original had a capacity of "just" 200 books,it did had a memory card slot for expansion,whereas the new one does not..and it's still set to sell at the same price as the old one,ticketed at $359! Would better features or a lower price convince you to buy one of these devices,or if you'd have an ebook reader device,would it be a Kindle or something else? Do you already have a Kindle? How do you feel about the upgrade? Amazon has been reticent about sales of the Kindle,and has yet to anounce official numbers of units out there..
