Amzon kindle wireless reading device

Hi guys! I m very interested in the amazon kindle wireless reading device. Honestly i didn't like the first version but this 2.0 release seems to be pretty cool. I'd like to know if you've tried it and if it's worth getting the new version. Thank you!

Do you mean Kindle 2 or Kindle DX?  I have the DX, but if you have any specific questions about Kindle, I'm happy to throw my two cents in.  One thing I know that I'd like to know about you is what you did not like about the original Kindle.  That may also help me to address what you may not like about the DX or the 2.  I have a book that addresses both the Kindle 2 and DX, and their ins and outs, so if you provide further information, I may be able to be more help to you than expressing my opinion without knowing what your needs and expectations are, because they may very well be different, as you know, but I'm happy to help however I can with this one.

 I think she means kindle 2.0. In this case what we can say is that it’s 25% thinner, 20% faster, stores up to 1,500 books, and has 25% better battery life, among other improvements. Take a look:

  • Thinner: 0.36 inches thick, 
  • Quicker: Turns pages 20% faster
  • Longer lasting: 25% increase in battery life
  • Better display: 16 shades of gray (was 4)
  • Bigger memory: Stores up to 1,500 books
  • Bigger vocabulary: Built-in 250,000 dictionary
  • Better navigation: With a 5-way joystick
  • More vocal: Able to read text aloud in a semi-robotic voice
  • Less accident prone: The page-turn buttons are smaller and harder to hit by mistake
  • More wired: New Whispersync technology

But honestly there are tons of sites talking about it but in my opinion nothing is better than true people reviews, who used and liked it. You can find out some interesting comments HERE. If you are interested in the DX version instead take a look HERE! If you have any other question just ask!

Andrea - while I can't be certain, the above answer seems to be coming from someone who works for Amazon, and while it overviews what the Kindle 2 features are, it points to links that may be general reviews that are from actual users, I don't know, and can't say, but as I indicated in my above answer, every person has a reason or reasons of their own that they may want to have addressed specifically. it's hard in a review to get that specificity.  Clearly, we can all find out what features all three Kindles have, which you clearly did by your awareness of it, and I understand that they also recently reduced the price, which makes it more attractive.  You didn't say specifically what you did not like about the Kindle, and keeping that in mind, along with the fact that those of us who purchase electronic readers are more likely to be avid readers, what may seem like a small thing to one person by way of a feature may make the difference between purchasing one and avoiding it.
