After months of speculation, Amazon.com on Monday introduced a new version of its popular e-book reader, the Kindle. The Kindle 2 sports a dramatic redesign and will begin shipping on February 24th for $359.
The original Kindle was bulky and angular. The Kindle 2 has been completely redesigned; it features new buttons, a new five-way controller and a redesigned power charger. The device's interface lets you search for text, write note sand annotations, and highlight text that interests you.
A new text-to-speech feature lets the device read to you—any text visible on the Kindle can be read, and you can adjust the speed of the playback and gender of the voice. Your page location is saved if you’re listening to the content, so you can return to it and read or have it read to you later. The Kindle 2 also comes with the New Oxford American Dictionary built-in.
