Panting For My Kindle 2

There I was, plunking down my credit card for Kindle Two, the hjighly anticipated (by me, at least) replacement to what was perhaps the ugliest piece of personal electronics since the brick phone.

My dear friend Susan MacDermid pointed out that Kindle One looks like a medical device - perhaps one you use to puncture a finger tip and check your blood sugar.

But Kindle Two is far more cyute. See below.





Still B&W, but I am totally cool with that. It's for books not watching movies. Though you know color will be a part of Kindle 3.

I get all tingly thinking about its rounded corners.

All New! Well, Some New! Kindle 2!

The Boy Genius Report blog has a number of photos of the new Kindle. Check them out here. From what I can see, the 2.0 version is a significant upgrade in that the keyboard looks better, and gone are the long "next page" "prev page" side bars and Praise the Lord Besos for that!



Go over to the BGR - they've got all the scoop.

It's bigger, which I'd have to hold to determine whether that is a good thing or not. What's making it larger is that keyboard -- you'll recall that on this blog earlier this week I showed a picture of the Sony Touch Screen, which is decidedly smaller.

Well, let the eBook steel cage match begin!

Thanks for reading, and don't forget to write.
