Kindle 2 is Non-Officially Official
Filed in archive General Cool Stuff by Chris Matier on February 9, 2009
The Kindle 2 is rumored to be released this month on February 24th. The unit should release at a price-point similar to the previous model: $359. The redesign is nice. Gone is the weird angular body and protruding page buttons. In their place are a nice, rounded shell and carefully placed and recessed paging buttons. The handy e-ink screen is still their, as is the handy keyboard. The menu / thumbwheel combo have been replace by a joystick and menu button.
Now, my problem is that the original Kindle was so well designed that I have little reason, at this point, to upgrade. Unless there is some spectacular "one more thing" that Amazon has planned, the upgrade is mostly a facelift. The official news should hit the nets this week, and we will see if there is more to this new Kindle than meets the eye.
