Amazon Kindle 2Amazon has just taken the wraps off its newest Kindle reading device and it’s a beauty.

The first Kindle caught our attention but didn’t capture it very long—sure, it looked like it was the best eBook reader out there but at $400 the clunky-looking device with an unproven record was never on our wishlist.

But with 2 years of experience, 230,000 books available, and a sleek new design that’s as thick as a pencil, count us in.

Other features of Kindle 2 that we’re digging on that were missing on in the first generation include:

  • a new 5-way controller
  • 25% longer battery life
  • 20% faster page turns
  • 16 shades of grey for even easier reading
  • storage for more than 1,500 books
  • and more

Check it out, we think you’ll like it.

Pre-order for $359 from Amazon; ships February 24, 2009
