The New Kindle is Here

Intellectual Techies and savvy geeks will be shopping at Amazon.com with the release of the new Kindle.  Their wireless/ bookless reading device just got better.

Kindle 2 gets complete books wirelessly in under 60 seconds, and has access to over 240,000 titles.
Kindle is just over 1/3 of an inch, as thin as most magazines and is lightweight: At 10.2 ounces, lighter than a typical paperback…
is wireless: 3G wireless lets you download books right from your Kindle, anytime, anywhere; no monthly fees, service plans, or hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots.
It reads like real paper; now boasts 16 shades of gray for clear text and even crisper images
Has a Longer Battery Life: 25% longer battery life; read for days without recharging
Holds over 1,500 books and can read every newspaper, magazine, blog, and book out loud to you, unless the book is disabled by the rights holder.

Avid readers though need to cough up $359.
Though it’s an ultra cool, very useful, beautifully designed device, I may, for the time being, stick to older type mediums including the old-fashioned paper back, tangible newspaper, web blog and dare I say it …. A Library visit.
