Amazon Kindle 2 Announced

[Code9Pickle]

Does it work with school textbooks? Like I mean can you buy books at Kindle store like Algebra 1 and 2 or Biology

It sure looks a lot better styled than the old 'Soviet era' design Kindle. Much thinner, gone are those badly placed page turning paddles.

Will be great for college students, saves them having to carry a load of bulky course textbooks around with them.

I wonder if users will be able to put images on the kindle 2, thus being able to read manga and what not, that's the biggest advantage I see in owning a sony reader.

[blinddontlie]

Sony readers can hold mangas? o.o

[dokikun01]

Yeah they can, google manga2pdf....

[gomemdesoto]

Manga been displayed in black and white don't seem quite so appealing IMO.

[dokikun01]

In most manga usually the cover is color and the rest in black and white, comics are a different story though.

There is an element of Big Brother and some privacy issues here. They know everything you read and if you make notes or highlight passages they store it on their servers.

[josimarneto]

This is a very important point. I really like all the technology behind the Kindle, but I find it peculiar that a company could have full access to the contents of one's readings and comments on the readings.

[linkinpain]

this thing has color?

[rodrix50]

only balck and white..

My brother's marketing graduate class did a project on the Kindle. He said another way to boost sales of the Kindle is to sell college text books at a discounted price.

[bourbakis]

much better looking than it's older brother.

should have done that from 1.0, after all there was ipod to emulate instead of a brick.

[CarlyUTube]

It's cool and all but I still enjoy reading from a book better.

[ojmardueno]

same here, but just imagine how many trees you can save by not having to print all those books on paper.

[4836582]

shure this stops having to carry a lot of bulky books around but i still prefer the old fashon way at least you dont have to charge a book.

[ryanman212]

Thats kinda cool, its kinda like getting rid of that bulky bookshelf

[AlaskanPipeWorm]

Yeah, but that bulky bookshelf is impressive and doubles as decoration.

[stephuila]

cool gadget
