Kindle 2: Now Available at Amazon (with Free Shipping)
I think I am one of the few people that wasn’t that excited for the first Kindle because I prefer to listen to books (rather than read) and my iPod is perfect for this.
But now, the new Kindle 2 has a Text-to-Speech feature where it can read every book, blog, magazine, and newspaper out loud to you – how cool is that. Now I can listen to my favorite books while exercising or working on the computer, just as I would with my iPod.
What makes the Kindle 2 better is that I have access to over 240,000 books plus U.S. and international newspapers, magazines, and blogs.
If you are thinking about buying the new Kindle, here are just a few other new features:
- Just over 1/3 of an inch, as thin as most magazines
- 10.2 ounces: lighter than a typical paperback
- 16 shades of gray for clear text and even crisper images
- 25% longer battery life; read for days without recharging
- 20% faster page turns
- Holds over 1,500 books
Currently, Amazon is offering Free Super Saver Shipping.
