Bottom Line Up Front: This is not the article to hear an unbiased e-book reader review. I love the Amazon Kindle 2! It is simply the best wireless reading device for students, commuters, and anyone who reads alot.
There is an amazing new line of e-book readers developed for the person on the go. Of course, ebook readers are not a new concept. There have been many styles of ebook readers on the market for years, starting with the Franklin EBookMan back in 1999. When you are considering buying an ebook reader, there are some things that separate the standard models from their feature-filled cousins. What makes the Amazon Kindle 2 such a great thing to have is its size. It can hold a lot of information, doesn't weigh very much and is user friendly. A company called E Ink Technologies Corporation developed a one hundred and sixty-six resolution simulated paper that looks so astonishingly similar to the real thing that it is hard to tell the difference.
Just when I was beginning to think that other e-book readers were beginning to catch up with Amazon, the Amazon Kindle 2 was released--blowing away the competition. As the digital age firmly takes hold, people are moving away from paper copies of anything. In fact, I've noticed on my daily train commutes that more people entertain themselves on digital devices than with a newspaper.
The first e-book reader that was designed could hold up to 200 books, but the Amazon Kindle 2 has enough space for over 1500. Considering that 1500 is a rather large number, you may wonder why you would ever need space for that many novels. The point is that you can carry your entire library in a device that weighs only ten ounces; which is lighter than a typical paperback and is just a little over one-third of an inch thick.
There have been a few other improvements with the K2 wireless reading device over the original version. The display screen has been improved to more closely resemble reading from paper, with sixteen shades of grey for clearer text and crisper images. The battery life has been extended by twenty-five percent, and page turning is now twenty percent faster. It also has a feature that allows you to adjust the text size for your needs.
The Amazon Kindle 2 comes in an off-white color, but at its core, it's really green. Because it has already revolutionized the way people read, the scale of its impact, based on its projected sales volume, is enormous. It isn't difficult to imagine the number of trees that will be spared from being milled into paper. The Kindle definition of how to get your reading material benefits the environment and ultimately all of us; readers and non-readers alike. The ebook reader saves money too. Even for those who only read occasionally, this concept should be a no-brainer.
