Portable eBook Reader Is Great
The Kindle 2
portable ebook reader is finally here -- it should look pretty familiar at this point! I played for the unit for the briefest of moments, but it really does feel great holding in hand. The brushed metal back is great, the device is incredibly light and very comfortable to hold, and the keyboard is also fairly usable. Though I was not convinced the five-way joystick is the best they possible could've worked into this space -- a d-pad seems much more logical -- but it's responsive and comfortable enough to twiddle with for what it is. Here's some thoughts:

Some thoughts about this portable ebook reader
The five-way rocker is definitely a step up in terms of screen navigation -- it allows you to get around pages way easier by allowing you to skip through individual words, and you can actually navigate simple web pages the way you're used to.
The new dictionary pop up (it brings up your definition on the bottom of the screen as you're scrolling through text) is a huge win. It was a pain before, but looking up words is now super easy and fast.

Great Stuff on Amazon
Carry 1500 books with you in one device
Screen refresh is much faster than the old model. The difference in speed is welcome and definitely noticeable. Moving through documents and back and forth between pages is a snap now. If you've been frustrated with the slowness before, this will be a big relief.
