Kindle 2 and Kindle 1
The new Kindle has arrived in Santa Fe! The packaging is gorgeous. The Kindle 2 is thinner and better designed (paging buttons are easier to use) than the Kindle 1. The screen is the same size but the print is crisper.
Turn it on and it knows who you are. Download all the books you have on the Kindle 1 from Amazon to the Kindle 2 – and you are ready to go. It even knows what page you are on in the books you are reading.

Serious gadget envy going on over here …
I’m even more envious now. I didn’t realise the Kindle 2 had so many cool new features …
The New Kindle
Well, it’s definitely bigger than I expected. I need to find someone that owns one so I can test it out.
It is the size of a larger paperback, but it is super thin. The screen size has not changed from the original one, but the rest is a bit larger. It is very comfortable to hold. The battery lasts longer on the new one.
Thanks for the link to the Onion story Azahar – very funny!!
