Pros: Well thought out and capable
Cons: Expensive to buy and to populate
Think of most anything invented in the 15th century and you will find it outdated and supplanted by something invented later. But one invention of that era has only been improved on slightly and perfected. That is the printed book. It is a technology ...

Pros: Small, portable, battery life, wireless
Cons: Book sharing, price
I'm overall impressed with the new version of Amazon's book reader the Kindle 2. It works well for reading book content and the interface stays out of your way, preventing interference with your reading experience. I'll admit, I bought the ...

Pros: Sleek design, excellent wireless capabilities, Amazon's huge book selection
Cons: Very expensive, a few ergonomic quirks, frequently awkward software
Over the last few years, my life has grown increasingly virtual. My huge music collection, once proudly displayed in racks, now exists inside a five-ounce mp3 player. The discs have been shoved into a Case Logic folder and hidden away. ...

Pros: Portable, lightweight, sharp display, adjustable font size, MP3 playback.
Cons: Price, nonreplaceable battery, no cover provided, no backlight.
I received a Kindle 2 as a gift recently. I'd had my eye on the Kindle since its launch, but couldn't justify the high price tag ($359). I use several forms of portable technology including a touchscreen smartphone, but the Kindle 2 was my first eBook ...

Pros: design, portability, convenience
Cons: price, not all books are available on Kindle
I was an early adopter of the original Kindle and I ordered the K2 the day they made the pre-orders available. The Kindle is an amazing device that offers so much convenience that I have come to wonder how I ever lived without it. Mine arrived on ...

Pros: Versatility; instant book download; effortless reading; huge capacity; cheap books; web access
Cons: Non-availability of certain titles; initial cost; no protective cover included.
I own a Kindle 2 for two reasons. First, it was a "Christmas gift" from my wife--even though I told her I really didn't want one, especially at $359 a pop. "But you're always buying books," she argued, citing my recent purchases of all twenty of ...

Pros: Lastet version has INTERNATIONAL wireless and PDF!
Cons: Price still steep. Might be outdated in a few years.
I see it's been a year or more since reviews of the Kindle 2 have been posted. That's a shame, because the K2 has recently been upgraded and a major upgrade it is!First, they dropped the price to a sweet spot that has made the Kindle2 ...

Pros: Lightweight! Stores Lots of Books.
Cons: Expensive. No replaceable battery. No Cover Included.
The Amazon Kindle 2 is a slight improvement over its predecessor. First, the Kindle 2 comes with a combination USB, AC Adapter cable. So, when you plug it in on the top this time, it will charge. You can also use the USB to charge from the computer, ...

Cons: It is expensive, and a somewhat delicate piece of electronics.
What Is It? The Kindle 2 is the next generation of Amazon's e-book reader.Why Consider It? If you are like me and like to read, you may find yourself running out of space to keep books. I seriously cannot fit one more book ...

Pros: Great Display, easy to read, easy to use.
Cons: Distribution is tied just to Amazon.
As an avid reader and reviewer, I've been waiting for quite some time to be able to "step-up" to the Kindle and while I would have been among the first to receive this Kindle 2 if plans had allowed, I've just received it recently and have already read ...

Pros: Ease of buying books
Cons: price, reliability and workmanship
Buyer beware! I have had my Kindle for about 13 1/2 months, and now it has broken. After spending over an hour on the phone with Amazon customer service, and going through the same troubleshooting steps that I had already tried, the screen is ...
