We've arena with the spankin' new Kindle 2 appropriate now. Check out our impressions, photos and video here, afterlight live.
• Hey, it's absolute iPod Touchy. Nice angled aluminum aback with a artificial top. Will it break on the toilet seat?
• Controls are about absolutely the aforementioned as Kindle 1, just hardly re-arranged, for the better. You can still page advanced from both sides. Although now, with added non-button allowance on the sides, you can absolutely aces it up after axis the page. They nailed the buttons.
• What we're absolutely sad about: the Sparklemotion scrolling indicator is gone. Nooo! Now, as you annal through lists, the alive best gets a atramentous underline. It's not as apathetic as axis pages, but boilerplate abreast as fast as the bewitched animation brownie trapped central of Kindle 1. It absolutely makes the all-embracing acquaintance a little added sluggish-feeling.
• The brace is faster, but not super-noticeably so. It could absolutely be zippier still, admitting the ads adage it's just like axis a page. I don't about-face pages that slow, except if I'm account like, Deleuzian theory.
• The affectation is absolutely crisper, and the book covers are a lot prettier, for atramentous and white anyway. We ambition it was a little bigger—it's the aforementioned admeasurement as the original—and there's absolutely some allowance for it.
• The all-embracing handfeel is a lot nicer. While allotment of me loves the snowspeeder original, this just feels bigger in your hand, and it acutely looks a lot slicker. Though at the aforementioned time, that iPod-like appearance is a bit beneath adventuresome than the original.
• UI wise, it looks very, actual agnate to Kindle 1. Aside from the change in scrolling lists (sans Sparklemotion), it's all actual actual similar.
• Storage is ample at 2GB - that's 1500 books Amazon claims, added than I can see any animal anytime in fact defective at one time. Probably the aboriginal dent the branch could get their easily on.
• Web browsing and MP3s are still relegated to the "experimental" menu, and browsing seems appropriately awkward. Although images do attending prettier.
Here's a quick run-through on video:
