It really is a great machine. The Kindle 2 made all the right changes to the original Kindle, which is why I forked out a hefty $359 for it. It contains literally thousands of books - which has completely changed my reading habits (more reading, less lugging around of books). It is glorious and if you are a serious book reader you should invest in it. Now so sure at the moment though about a new Kindle that Amazon just announced - the Kindle DX. It's the same as the Kindle 2 but with a much bigger screen - just a little smaller than a magazine. I get the logic straight away - a bigger screen is much, much better for reading on. Particularly if you are reading PDF documents or magazines. It doesn't matter with books - you want something you can shove in your bag and pull out. But clearly Amazon has found out that alot of people are using their Kindle to read documents - probably work documents - on a device that doesn't have a backlit screen and which doesn't require you booting up a computer. I can see the logic, although I've not go into this habit yet.]]> http://kierenmccarthy.com/2009/05/06/a-new-bigger-pricier-kindle/
