First laser etched Kindle 2! The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - "Don't Panic"

Not too long ago there was an xkcd comic featuring the Kindle, we knew someone would eventually laser etch a new Kindle 2 but we didn't expect it to be us! Here's the first ever laser etched Kindle 2! Sean brought his over to the shop today and we "experimented".

Actually, it just has to be "in large friendly letters." This qualifies.

That's beautiful. Coolest thing ever. Brought a smile to my face.

@MohanndasChutney Ha, I used to think the same, but I got a Kindle just recently and it makes reading even more enjoyable than it was before. It's really fantastic. I mean, you can carry hundreds of books with you at once.

I'M SO HAPPY!!!

Why don't you just learn to read using a regular book?  I recommend "How not to Beg for Dummies."

Any chance you could tell me the speed and power settings you used? please

could you send me a free or cheap kindle 2? I wouldn't mind the one with the words on it, since I'm a fan of that as well.

I really need a kindle 2..

Lovely first attempt, but where's the warm orange and yellow? ;)

I hope this didn't cost you too much...it's supposed to be all upper-case! If you're going to be a nerd, be a nerd about it!
