Everyone's doing a great job here talking about the improved features. I'm going to comment on how using the Kindle 2 feels. Amazon has done an amazing job of stripping away the technical annoyances with using electronic gadgets. When you look at it, if you don't focus too hard, the little buttons and controls fade away and all you see is the text. You get such a sense of quiet and comfort from that. No screaming banner ads, no strobing backlit display and no sound! It's really remarkable... both retro and high tech together! It feels very solid in your hand and does not feel flimsy, cheap or insubstantial. It's like a rigid wafer that's heavy enough, but would never be tiresome to hold a while. The screen is lovely, with little glare. The fact that when you turn it off, it stays on takes getting used to. I absolutely love the graphics that come up when you turn it off and wonder if there's a way to change them out with my own photos? So what the Kindle 2 is - it's a quiet unintrusive device that calls you to. It's not a further distraction in your already distracting world, but it's a calm oasis in your hand. Hmm. Sounds like what a book would be. But this does so much more. The experimental web feature is very rough in terms of the elegant simplicity of the rest of the Kindle 2 features. Don't buy this for web surfing! In summary, if you like books, you'll love Kindle 2. The technology is seamless and you won't feel like you need technical expertise to use it. It feels like an extension of your hand very quickly. It doesn't flash, scream, strobe, move, etc.... but it does what it does to extremely well. It's quiet in your hand and a pleasure to use. People around you are drawn to it. When using it, you can't help but wish that more of the products you use in your daily life were like this. It is the future. Thanks Amazon!
