Amazon announces Kindle 2


Posted February 9, 2009 by Matthew Price Comment on this article Leave a comment

Amazon has announced the second version of its Kindle device, an e-book reader with access more than 230,000 books.

The new version is only 10.2 ounces and only 1/3 of an inch thick.  It seems like an improvement over the original Kindle, though its lack of color makes it still an unlikely format for comic books.  (Some black and white comics and graphic novels have been adapted to the Kindle.)  Still, it seems another positive move forward in the development of a light, handy e-reader.

The Kindle 2 will be released Feb. 24.
