You may have noticed the recent news that Amazon is launching the Kindle 2 — the second version of its wireless reading device — on February 24, 2009.
I am super-excited about the Kindle 2, especially for people like you and me who care about better communication.
You probably read as much as I do.
And the Amazon Kindle is a revolution, in my opinion, in how you can get and read books.
The Amazon Kindle 2 takes this revolution to the next level.
Sure, there are critics who complain about such things as the Kindle 2 using a sixteen-gray-levels screen instead of a color screen, but many of these criticisms relate to cost-versus-benefit decisions that Amazon had to make.
For example, what manufacturer has created an affordable book reader with a color screen that is readable in bright sunlight? I dare say, “None.”
The day that I heard about the launch of the Kindle 2, I made two decisions:
- I was going to buy one.
- I was going to set up a website about Kindle 2 tricks.
Do you want to know something funny?
I was just about to click the submit-order button at Amazon to get my Kindle 2, when I decided to step away from my computer and tell my wife about it and how excited I was about the Kindle 2.
And guess what my wife said? She said that earlier that day she had ordered one for me for Valentine’s Day.
What a sweetheart, and what a coincidence! And my first goal became moot.
As I write this, another week must pass before Amazon starts shipping the Kindle 2. (I can hardly stand it.)
So I do not have one now, but this has not stopped me from pursuing goal #2.
I set up Kindle2Tricks.com as a resource for anyone who wants to know how to get the most out of the Amazon Kindle 2.
