Spot the difference!
Posted on:: February 7th, 2009
Can you spot the most important difference? Here’s a well-known photo of the original, extant Kindle:
Here’s a photo from MobileRead that purports to be of the soon-to-be-announced Kindle 2.
If you said that the Kindle 2 can be held without inadvertently pressing buttons, you win!!!

And hooray for that. I sold my first Kindle at a $200 profit because I hated those buttons. Went back to my (otherwise inferior) Sony Reader. But a week ago I ordered a Kindle 2.0 on the assumption they’ve solved the button problem.
It’s never been such a big deal for me. I’m interested to see what kind of actual feature differences there are. But I have a hard time believing there’s anything important enough to make me upgrade.
Love the Kindle. Kindle 2.0? Sounds good.
Whats the screen like for reading in bright sunlight on a beach?
It’s great in bright sunlight. It has no backlight and no LEDs, so you need ambient light to read it at all. The brighter the better.
