Cnet kindle 2 full review:
cnet editors’ rating: Excellent (4/5)
“with 2GB of internal memory, it’s capable of storing 1,500 electronic books; font size is adjustable; improved battery life; displays image files and plays MP3 and AAC audio; compatible with Windows and Mac machines; new Text-to-Speech feature allows you to have text read aloud
No expansion slot for adding more memory or accessing files; files such as PDFs and Word documents aren’t natively supported,
Amazon Kindle 2 offers a range of improvements that makes it the best overall e-book reader we’ve seen to date.”
Review by David Pogue, New York Times
“the new Kindle edges even closer to the ideal of an e-book reader. The reading experience is immersive, natural and pleasant; the book catalog, while not yet complete, is growing and delivered instantaneously; and apart from the clicky keyboard (an unnecessary appendage 99.9 percent of the time), the design feels right”.
Review by Steven Levy, wired
“WIRED The best e-reading system on the market. Welcome improvements to aesthetics, more functional industrial design, better graphics and longer battery life. Sleeker than the original: A third of an inch thick and 10 ounces.
TIRED Quite expensive. Book content shackled with DRM. Interface is improved, sure, but it could be even better.”
