Amazon Introduces Kindle 2


Amazon launched Monday, Feb. 9, a beta version of its electronic portable reading device, the Kindle 2. A little over a year ago, Amazon introduced a portable reading device that would all readers to store up to 1,000 books in a digital format. With a high contrast screen, long battery life and online capabilities to Amazon.com's endless book inventories, the Kindle and Kindle 2 are breaking into the electronic book market. 

Kindle 2's release has already seen high responses on blogs and been received with mixed reviews. Those who have currently ordered a Kindle 1 were greeted with a message from Amazon stating that they will have the first opportunity at purchasing the Kindle 2, while those on back order have been automatically upgraded.
