I Know The Guy Who Owns This Place

Amazon finally got it’s Kindle 2 launched. While there’s nothing I think I’ll be upgrading for (I’m very happy with my Kindle 1), there are a couple things I thought were potentially good improvements:

• Slimmer: now just 1/3 inch
• 20% faster page turns.

Some of the other changes — improved display, longer battery life, more storage, text-to-speech — really wouldn’t matter much to me. The Kindle 1 was adequate on that front.

Still, glad to see they’re continuing to improve it. I’d love to see it really take off to the mass market.
