Amazon Re-Kindles the Kindle E-book Reader

Amazon released its next-generation E-book reader, Kindle 2.0, today. The original Kindle is little more than a year old, but photos of the new release show a few significant design changes, most notably an improved processor that’s 20 percent faster. The new Kindle is much thinner now, improving on an already-small footprint.  The quality construction and response to its predecessor is sure to bring smiles to new buyers when Kindle 2 hits the market later this month.

The first Kindle reader sports a 6″ screen and has enough memory to hold 200 books (256MB). With syndicated content from leading newspapers and an ever-growing library of available books, the reader has many dedicated fans. Likewise, Amazon, who once upon a time sold just books, knows a good thing when it sees one. Developers have obviously mobilized quickly to corner the market on this revolutionary device.
