Kindle, a Prince of a Gadget…but 8 Reasons Why Kindle 2 is King
Yes, that’s right. Carrie has been seen around town with something in her hand. Although we have yet to hear a howl out of Cujo on the Kindle. Jack, as of yet, has not uttered those faithful words “here’s” Kindle. None the less, when introduced at the Kindle 2 launch, Stephen King did say he has written a novelette exclusively for the new device. As he stated in a recent article, the prolific author defined the Kindle as “a gadget with stories hiding inside it”. He especially liked that you can adjust the typeface. Something, as he pointed out, that is good for those of us getting on in years. All and all he says “for what it is, it’s just fine. It’s light, holds its charge, is simple to operate”. So what is Mr. King going to think of the kindle 2? Will we eventually see the Children of The Corn looking up “definitions of words that puzzle you as you read”? Another feature that he seemed to like about the Kindle.
Well Stephen, if you liked the Kindle, you are going to love the Kindle 2, the next generation wireless reading device. Although it has a thin design, it holds over 1,500 books with seven times more storage. For those of you who get so engrossed in what you’re reading, the Kindle 2 turns the pages faster. The new display offers a book-like-reading experience, with a much clearer text and crisper images. Of course for those who can’t put a good book down, it has a longer battery life. Another new feature is “Read to Me”. It actually reads to you, with the new Text to Speech feature.
The designers of Kindle 2 kept everything that consumers loved about the Kindle. The immediacy of getting a book wirelessly delivered in less than 60 seconds, and Kindle’s ability to “disappear” in your hands so you can get lost in the author’s words. Also, there are over 230,000 e-books available, including Times best sellers, at the Kindle Store.
So here are 8 new reasons to get a Kindle 2.
