Amazon Kindle 2


It's official the Amazon Kindle 2 is here. The announcement didn't lead to a cheaper Kindle but it did lead to many improvements. The new Kindle is thinner, has a sharper screen, increases storage, and a new joystick for better navigation. Probably the most notable new feature is "read to me" which gives the Kindle the ability to read out loud any content that is on the device. It will still cost $359 and will come with a new Stephen King exclusive. So for all you book readers out there go pick one up and let us know what you think.
UPDATE: One of the new Kindles most notable features has now been made an option. The text to speech feature brought Amazon a lot of trouble. Since they have made it an option for publishers to include or opt out of the feature.
