Brian Thomas from Top 10 Reviews said......."With new features and an overhaul on its body design, the Amazon Kindle 2 handheld ebook reader is poised to continue taking eBook readers to new heights. After the success of the original Kindle, Amazon's sales of e-books jumped dramatically to end up being 10 percent of all the books on Amazon. With the Kindle 2, our No. 1 handheld eBook reader, we expect that trend to continue."

Robin L. McLaughlin an avid reader and owner said ....."After reading through the Kindle 2 handheld ebook reader introductory guide that loads up automatically at the start and following along it took me almost no time to learn which buttons are where and what each of them do. The intro guide is plenty to get started and I haven't felt a need to work my way through the more detailed guide"

Here's some snippets of personal reviews of the Sony PRS600 Handheld Ebook reader....

Brian Thomas from Top 10 Reviews said......."The Sony readers are really well constructed. They don't use cheap plastic and instead use a metal case. It makes the reader seem heavier but make it feel more substantial. Bit like reading a hardback vs a paperback."

......."The device is very grown-up and stylish looking, great to hold, (not too heavy) and looks EXPENSIVE "
