Hands on with Amazon's Kindle 2

Hands on with Amazon's Kindle 2 : Christopher Null : Yahoo! Tech: "The long-awaited Kindle 2 began shipping on Monday, and I've now had enough time with a demo unit to offer some initial impressions. Bottom line: If you liked the Kindle 1, you'll love the Kindle 2.

As has been previously discussed, the Kindle 2 is the same general concept as the original ebook reader, just amped up a notch all around. The new design is its most striking feature. While I sort-of liked the old Kindle's retro-jaggy form factor, many felt it was horribly ugly. The modernized Kindle 2 will generate no complaints from anyone. Like an overgrown iPhone, it's sleek and sophisticated and truly as thin as a pencil -- almost impossibly slim."
