Amazon has released its version 2 of the electronic book reader device, Kindle.
The new Kindle 2 is much slimmer than the original (.36” thick vs. first version’s 0.7″ thick), is lighter (10.2 ounces versus the original 10.3 ounces), and includes a keyboard with a 5-way joystick instead of the original device’s scroll wheel.
The navigation buttons have been pushed down for tighter control (and to avoid the accidental page-turning that many users complained about). Kindle 2 has a 25 percent longer battery life, and contains 2GB of memory that can hold more than 1,500 books.
