Why The Kindle 2 Is Already in Hot Demand
When the original Kindle was released, it became one of the top gifted items, and Oprah Winfrey created a huge backlog of orders when she featured it on her show. The next wave of Kindle enthusiasts will love what Kindle 2 has to offer even more.
Wireless readers have been around quite awhile, but none were made household names until the production of the Kindle brand, sold via Amazon exclusively. Kindle 2 has all of the original features plus a lot of new experimental concepts, such as Read to Me, which enables you to hear the text instead of read it.
Kindle 2 still allows you to download your favorite books, blogs, magazines, journals and audiobooks, but it does it in a fraction of the time and allows you to store far more than you could on the original version.
Those who ordered a Kindle 1 and were still on backorder are happy to learn they'll be getting an automatic upgrade to the Kindle 2, helping those lucky buyers save 84! It's thinner than an iPhone and rumor has it that Amazon is going to introduce technology that allows you to sync your new wireless reader to other electronic gadgets.
Watch and Be Wowed By the Kindle 2!
Downloading Books, Magazines, Blogs and More to Your Wireless Reader
The idea of quickly downloading full novels in under 60 seconds is very appealing to many men and women, but they may feel intimidated by the technological aspect of using a Kindle 2.You don't need to worry - using a Kindle wireless reader is very simple. Here's how to use your new Kindle 2 once you purchase it or receive it as a gift:
Step 1: Register your Kindle 2 on Amazon. During this process you'll set up an account with a password and choose how you'll pay for your Kindle purchases.
Step 2: Download items to your Kindle 2 from the Kindle Store. The Kindle store has books, blogs, magazines, journals, and even audiobooks that you can download to your wireless reader. You don't need a computer connection - just log in from your Kindle 2 and start shopping!
Step 3: Set up your Kindle text and page layout. It looks just like a printed book, but you have the ability to alter the text size however you want. You can navigate through the selection using a cursor bar and select wheel as well as back buttons and page buttons.
Some authors, like Stephen King, have created items that are only available for the Kindle wireless reader, like his recent publication, the novella titled UR, which is about a college professor who orders a Kindle after being scorned by his lover's ridicule of his old fashioned reading methods. If King isn't your cup of tea, see what other Kindle books are available that you'd like to download immediately!

You can speed up or slow down the reading speeds or choose a male or female voice. Anything you can read on Kindle, Kindle can read to you, including books, newspapers, magazines, blogs and even personal documents. In the middle of a great book or article but have to jump in the car? Simply turn on Text-to-Speech and listen on the go.
Basic Web Browser
Kindle's Basic Web browser works well to read simple, text-centric Web sites such as Google and Wikipedia. Need to find a movie listing or look up a sports score? Now it's easier than ever to find the information you're looking for right from your Kindle.
PDF Document Conversion
You can email your PDF documents wirelessly to your Kindle, just like other personal documents. Due to PDF's fixed layout format, some complex PDF files may not format correctly on your Kindle.
