Do You Need A Kindle 2? Yes.

by Joseph W. Risinko

The Kindle 2 includes a built-in basic web browser to read text-centric web sites and has a built-in dictionary. Thanks to the expanded battery life of the Kindle 2, you are able to read for up to two weeks with the wireless access turned off, or up to four days with it turned on. The Kindle 2 has the capacity to hold over 1,500 books, including many best-sellers that can be downloaded for less than ten dollars each.

The redesigned Kindle 2 ebook reader got favorable reviews at the launch in New York City. [1] The connectivity needed to download books and browsing certain other sites is free of charge: The Kindle Store enables you to download, display and use on your Device a variety of digitized electronic content, such as books, subscriptions to magazines, newspapers, journals and other periodicals, blogs, RSS feeds, and other digital content. With the new Text-to-Speech feature, Kindle 2 can read every book, blog, magazine, and newspaper out loud to you.

Personally, I like the size of the reader, but would consider jumping up to a larger screen if the footprint isn’t too big. If you’re an avid reader such as myself, buy one and you’re hooked. I was a sceptic about any ebook reader, but since purchasing my Kindle last year, I can’t imagine my reading life without it.
