Now that I’ve had the Kindle 2 for over two weeks, I can say that I love it and that it is a great improvement upon my first generation Sony Reader (which I also loved). I also just finished writing what is perhaps the longest review I’ve ever written about any device over at Obsessable in three parts, a first look, and a set of videos. Here are the links:
- First look impressions and unboxing of the Kindle 2
- Daily Obsession videos looking at the Kindle 2′s audio support and text-to-speech features
- Amazon Kindle 2 review, part 1: Examining the body, build, construction, and controls of the Kindle 2
- Amazon Kindle 2 review, part 2: Taking an in-depth look at reading books and periodicals on the Kindle and using the Kindle Store
- Amazon Kindle 2 review, part 3: Looking at online performance, audio support, various hidden features, and an overall conclusion and recommendation as to whether the Kindle 2 is a device that you should consider buying
I also hacked together an ugly Moleskine case for the device and have installed the Savory hack and the screensaver hack. Also, here’s a boatload of Kindle 2 unboxing and other pictures.
In any case, I’m loving this gadget and if you have the money to burn and you like to read, I’d recommend that you get one too. If you do purchase a Kindle 2, consider using this link: (Kindle 2: Amazon’s New Wireless Reading Device)
Oh and in case you were wondering: Yes, you can buy The Lord of the Rings (Trilogy)
