 Amazon Kindle 2, the crazy is there, and pre-orders are available for those non-patient techies. Amazon of course is the source for those. It's new design focuses on thin shape and light weight. It is thus still the solution for the digital readers of the world. With tons more storage it now can hold an average of 1500 books. Other great new elements are longer battery life and also the pages turn faster. thought the old screen was great, the new one is even crisper. Of course with new technology, it is a given that it will read to you as well, thought I expect the interactive book world will erupt with iPads, kindle still has a dedicated market.
They plan on increasing production to meet demand, and expect many to upgrade. It is a great wireless device that provides an incredible solution for carrying around your own personal library. I am interested in how libraries will merge with technology to keep up with the times. Today it isn't an issue yet, but I believe that it will be in the future, as we yearn for absorption of as much information as we possibly can absorb, making reading manually a secondary option to a text to speech option that has speed control. Thought there are always content and out of US restrictions, the kindle 2 will be made available outside the US.
