Amazon Kindle 2 Review - The Mobile Gadgeteer
A review of the new Amazon Kindle 2 wireless reading device has been posted over at ZDNet.com. 'On the front of the Kindle 2 you will find the 6 inch E-Ink display centered in the upper portion. There are 2 buttons on the left for previous page and next page and 2 buttons on the right of the display for Home and next page. The unique “magic” scrolling wheel and silver mirror slider has been replaced by a 5-way directional joystick/controller positioned at the bottom right of the display. Moving the controller moves around a cursor on the display (for document titles they are underlined as they are selected) for quick and accurate navigation. Pressing in on the controller selects the item you have the cursor positioned over. I would like to have seen an eraserhead-type of textured top on the controller as I do tend to slip off of it every once in a while.'
