Quick Kindle 2 reader video review
Found an interesting video review of the Kindle 2 reader.
Remember that there are new kindle 2 models available at Amazon for $299, or if you are interested in a refurbished kindle 2 they are also for sale at a cheaper price

The Kindle2 Is Here
There have been so many rumors about the Kindle 2 . It’s time to set the record straight. First off, the Kindle 2
will be released on February 24, 2009. You can preorder the Kindle2 now.
The orders will be prioritized on a first come first serve basis. Kindle 1 owners who order by midnight tonight will have first priority though.
If you have ordered a Kindle 1 and have not received it yet, you will be getting a Kindle 2 . In fact I’m ordering my Kindle 2
today. The Kindle 2 looks better than ever. I just can’t wait. Now for the improved features:
Slim: Just over 1/3 of an inch, as thin as most magazines
Lightweight: At 10.2 ounces, lighter than a typical paperback
Wireless: 3G wireless lets you download books right from your Kindle, anytime, anywhere; no monthly fees, service plans, or hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots
Books in Under 60 Seconds: Get books delivered in less than 60 seconds; no PC required
Improved Display: Reads like real paper; now boasts 16 shades of gray for clear text and even crisper images
More Storage: Take your library with you; holds over 1,500 books
Faster Page Turns: 20% faster page turns
Read-to-Me: With the new Text-to-Speech feature, Kindle can read every book, blog, magazine, and newspaper out loud to you
Large Selection: Over 230,000 books plus U.S. and international newspapers, magazines, and blogs available
Low Book Prices: New York Times Best Sellers and New Releases $9.99, unless marked otherwise
Another Great Kindle Review
I found a series of Kindle reviews by Pocket Now. These I really like because they show the Kindle and all of it’s functions up close. Plus they are honest reviews with no bias. The Kindle is a cool product, but it is not perfect. At least not yet.
It starts with locking the Kindle into the cover. The Kindle has 2 next page buttons, and a previous page button. It also has a back button and a selector wheel, which control a selector. It has a simple keyboard, where you can input words, search, and control the text size.
The on off button and wireless button and speaker are on the back. It has a rubber back cover and a nice ergonomic feel. It also has a headphone jack and a mini USB port. If you are new to the Kindle or thinking about getting one, then these videos are useful.
Kindle Review #2 By Pocket Now
In this second video review, they talk about the screen and lighting issues with the Kindle. The Kindle has a 6 inch screen with a resolution of 800 x 600, and uses E-ink. To select items on the Kindle
there is a selection wheel and a chrome strip that marks your selection.
This video also compares the contrast of the Kindle E-ink with a real book. The right bar is a next page button. The top has the book name, and author, and whether you have it book marked. On the bottom it has a meter that tells you how far along you are. You can also change the text size.
You can also look up a word on the fly. After looking up the word, just click on the back button and go back to where you left off.
