Amazon Kindle 2 Review - Laptop Mag
Laptop Magazine have published a review of the Amazon Kindle 2 wireless reading device. 'The brushed-aluminum back of the device contrasted with its white face makes the Kindle look like an Apple-designed product—which is a compliment. In our hands, it felt more like a premium slate than an awkward, big plastic device like the original Kindle. On the previous Kindle, you could remove the back to access the battery and the memory card. While the Kindle 2 ditches the memory card slot, it can also store 7 times the amount of books that the original could (more than 1,500). The Next Page keys are now smaller and inward-facing to prevent the accidental page-turning issue that was prevalent on the first Kindle. The added Home button gives quick access to the home screen, instead of having to search for the small Home icon on the keyboard. Two stereo speakers now sit on the rear of the device and a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top.'
