The Amazon Kindle, when it was first released to the public, got one of two reactions. You either loved it or you hated it. It's that simple.
The same can be said of the Kindle 2. Read what can only be described as a lukewarm review of the Kindle 2. We're equal opportunity employers here--we like to get all view points!!
The Kindle 2 and the Future of Internet Access
I just read a good article about one writer's experience with the Amazon Kindle 2. Like many people, he passed on the first Kindle because he thought the device was ugly.
But now he's had a change of heart once he's been able to play with the newest Kindle offering. He writes about how the Kindle may be the link between traditional internet and "portable" internet--that works as well at home as in the shopping aisle. He looks to the future of hand held devices that could pair the functionality of a Kindle--built in 3G access, the ability to purchase a book on the go--with that of an iPod touch.
I have always felt that Amazon's ebook reader was special for this same reason--it is unique and always struck me as the device that could bridge the gap and really link the way we use the internet portably today and how we will use it in the next few years.
It's interesting. Check out the Kindle 2 article here.
