Kindle 2 VS. Kindle: Which One Is Better

Now that the Kindle 2 is fascinating so many people, it is time to understand just why this makes the perfect gift for the ones in your life who are elderly or unable to move due to physical restrictions. The Kindle 2 has the read-to-me option. Everything that is on the screen, from the printed pages of the books you have selected, can and will be read out loud for those who need that option. It can be turned on and left that way for several people to hear and enjoy. Or, a simple addition of earplugs which can easily plugged in will allow the owner of the Kindle 2 enjoy it without disturbing anyone else.

I took the black lid off the box and the Kindle 2 was inside, nesting in a piece of white plastic. I plugged in the Kindle 2 first thing and while it was charging, (which takes around 3 hours or less) I could go ahead and start using the device. The Kindle 2 actually started up when I plugged it in.

After 10 minutes of non-use, the Kindle 2 will go into sleep mode. And speaking of the Kindle 2's sleep mode, when it's in sleep mode, there are some very nice screen savers shown. There is also a new Text-To-Speech feature that makes the Kindle 2 read every book, blog, or magazine and newspaper out loud to you.

On top of the Kindle 2 is a headphone jack so you can listen to your eBooks or other material being read out loud to you with the Text-to-Speech (TTS) function. On the left side of the Kindle 2 are two slots that are for snapping the device into the Amazon Kindle 2 Leather Cover, which doesn't come with the device. And of course the Kindle 2 has a QWERTY keyboard which lets you add annotations to text, the way you can write in the margins of a book.

Kindle 2 supports wall charging via the included Kindle 2 power adapter, and charging from your computer via the included USB. Kindle 2 fully charges in approximately 4 hours. Kindle 2 electronic reader, power adapter, and USB are included in the box.

With its 16-level gray scale screen, the Kindle 2 packs one of the best e-Book reader displays we've seen, trumping the displays found on the original Kindle and on Sony's PRS-700, both of which only handle 8 levels of gray scale. For connectivity, the Kindle 2 uses Amazon's Whispernet data service for downloading content. At slightly more than a third of an inch thick, Kindle 2 is a lot thinner and a tad taller than the original.

Pricing and availability of the Kindle 2 will set you back US $359. Although the "text to speech" is computer generated, I was impressed by its natural flow and intonation on the Kindle 2. In addition to the memory, Kindle 2 has an improved display that reads like real paper, with 16 shades of gray, for clear text and crisp images. The Kindle 2 also turns pages 20% faster than the original.

Amazon Kindle 2 is the hot new e-book reader for those who have moved way past the paper back. The more portable power charger is another great added function, though the improved battery life for the Kindle 2 also allows it to last upto 4 days with wireless turned on and 2 weeks with the wireless powered off. The Kindle 2 reader is the perfect device for the person on the go.
