The almighty Kindle 2 is ultimately here! Since the mid of last year when word got out that the Kindle 2 was going to be released soon, thousands of fans were already eagerly waiting with baited breath for its release. Since the activate in January, the Kindle 2 has stayed on top of Amazon's best selling chart till today. The popularity of these puny nifty gadgets is a tell-tale sign that electronic book readers are one day going to replace books altogether. How exciting!
A considerable revising can be observed in the manufacture of the new Kindle 2. It sports rounded edges and generally a sleeker design. It is more symmetrical than the first Kindle and has a more balanced allembracing design. When it comes to looks, I personally feel that the new Kindle 2 wins hands down.
There are fewer buttons on the new e-book reader. They keyboard is much smaller and less intrusive. I have been using the first edition of Kindle for approximately a year now and one of my biggest problems was with accidental page turns. It was very easy to accidentally push on some of the buttons. The manufacture of the Kindle 2 sports a great revising on this aspect. The keyboard was smaller (which I didn't mind since I hardly use it anyway) and the location of the page turn buttons has changed. The page turn buttons are now settled on the edge of the reader, and would only turn a page when you press it down to a 'click'. This is one of my popular improvements on the Kindle 2.
Another great revising was the speed of the page turns. The page turns are noticeably faster and the menu (and other applications) seems to load quicker too. The puny changes in the layout made navigation on the Kindle 2 much easier and faster than its predecessor. A new highlight that I loved was the automated dictionary feature. If I didn't know the meaning of a singular word, all I had to do was move my cursor over the word and the meaning would immediately pop up!
