Amazon Kindle 2

A clearly commercial post from time to time doesn’t hurt anyone.

Especially if it is about such a controversial device:

Today, Amazon released the second version of their Kindle. It has many improvements, including a better integration of the previously annoying paging buttons.

While some people can’t see the advantages in a device like this, you must admit Amazon is trying its best to build a useful replacement for “dead-tree” books. I have never seen one, but the “E-Ink” paper-like screen technology makes the screen readable everywhere (even in bright sunlight) and consumes significantly less power than a regular LCD.

Sadly, the price is still outrageously high.

    Hey,

    I have one of the earlier e-ink displays lying around at home, an iRex iLiad. If you want a demo, let me know ;-)
