Having already handled the Kindle 2 at its launch in New York City, we had a pretty good idea of what we'd be getting into after it arrived at the bunker. Once we actually had a little time to spend with the device, it really started to sink in how much those minor tweaks can add up to make a big difference. Jumping from Amazon's original attempt at an ebook reader to its latest iteration isn't exactly like day and night, but it's definitely a positive shift in the experience, though one that leaves us wondering how they failed to make some of these choices the first time around. Read on for a full look at the Kindle 2. Read more...

2. CrunchGear 10 reasons to buy a Kindle 2… and 10 reasons not to. Having used both Kindles 1 and 2, I thought it would helpful to list where the new Kindle excels and where it falters. The dead tree book will never die – I think it will even have more longevity and popularity than the boutique appreciation of vinyl records – but our generation will be the last to use “books” as our primary reading systems. Expect ebooks to hit colleges in perhaps five years and high schools and grade schools in about 7. That said, should you buy a Kindle now? Why and why not? Read more...
3. The New York Times The Kindle: Good Before, Better Now. In the high-tech industry, you live for the day when your product name becomes a verb. “I Googled him.” “She’s been Photo shopped.” Amazon, however, is hoping that its product name, a verb, becomes a noun. “Have you bought the new Kindle?” The Kindle is the most successful electronic book-reading tablet so far, but that’s not saying much; Silicon Valley is littered with the corpses of e-book reader projects. A couple of factors made the Kindle a modest hit when it made its debut in November 2007. First, it incorporated a screen made by E Ink that looks amazingly close to ink on paper. Read more...
4. Amazon Kindle 2 Review (YouTube)
5. CNET editors' review Amazon has discontinued this version of the Kindle and replaced it with the international Kindle model. That new model runs on AT&T's network and can access content on cellular networks inside and outside of the U.S. It's otherwise essentially identical to the Sprint-powered Kindle reviewed here. With a slicker design, improved performance, and such additional extras as Text-to-Speech audio reading, Amazon has gotten a lot right with the latest version of its much-hyped e-book reader, the Kindle. While it may not be the huge leap forward that some people were hoping for, and it leaves off a couple of key items--most importantly removable memory and a protective carrying case--its easy-to-use interface and wireless connectivity still make it the e-reader to beat in the U.S. And it doesn't hurt that as more competing e-readers have hit the market, Amazon has lowered the price from $349 to $299.

6. Steve Pavlina Earlier this year I bought an Amazon Kindle reading device, and I want to share my impressions of it so far. I ordered the original Kindle in January, but I was informed it was backordered and wouldn’t ship for 2 months. A month or so later, Amazon informed me that they were about to release the Kindle 2, so they automatically upgraded my order for free, and I received the Kindle 2 shortly thereafter. I’ve had a few months to play with it now, and overall I like it a lot. Read more...
7. The Smarter Wallet Somewhere on my PC, I have a folder with 30 unread ebooks. I’ve been reading ebooks on my PC for years; more recently, I’ve been using my Playstation Portable and Nintendo DS as ebook readers, too. But Amazon’s Kindle has intrigued me since it first came out and there’s a new version of Kindle that’s just been released. I believe now is a good opportunity to check it out again. Read more...
8. Wired Only a true icon makes every other product in its category seem chintzy and dated, if not totally obsolete. With its stylish design, slim profile (0.36 inch), and faster page-flips, the second coming of the Kindle is not only cooler and more portable, it's just plain better than anything else in its class. The improved graphics with eye-friendly e-ink display (16 shades of gray at 600 x 800 resolution) complete the package, offering an experience outdone only by a physical book — except with the Kindle, you're toting 1,500 of them. The end. Read more...
9. USA Today Hate to spoil the ending, but here's what you need to know about Kindle 2. The second edition of Amazon's (AMZN) best-selling electronic reader looks better, reads better and addresses the first Kindle's (metaphorically speaking) torn pages. Still, most of the improvements are marginal enough that owners of the original Kindle ought not feel compelled to upgrade, especially at a pricey $359. Read more...
10. Pocket-lint The Amazon Kindle has only relatively recently made it to the UK, with our US brothers and sisters enjoying the device for some time. As we've been looking at our disconnected ebook readers on this side of the pond and scratching our balding pates, US Kindle owners have been laughing through their macchiatos. We've been living with the Kindle for several months now and here's what we think. Read more...
