Amazon introduce Amazon Kindle 2, the next generation wireless reading device. With a sleek and thin design that makes Kindle 2 as thin as a typical magazine and lighter than a paper pack, the new Kindle has seven times more storage and now holds over 1,500 books. It has a longer battery life and faster page turns. An advanced display provides even crisper images and clearer text for an improved book-like reading experience. And Kindle 2 even reads to you, with “Read to Me”, the new Text to Speech feature.
With Kindle 2 it kept everything readers love about the original Kindle — the convenience of reading what you want, when you want it, the immediacy of getting a book wirelessly delivered in less than 60 seconds, and Kindle’s ability to “disappear” in your hands so you can get lost in the author’s words. They also announce that the Kindle Store has over 230,000 ebooks available.
There is also have a wide variety of Kindle accessories available, including new covers from Cole Haan, Patagonia, and Belkin and more.
Kindle 2 is available for pre-order starting today for $359 at http://amazon.com/kindle and will ship later this month.
