Gizmodo has a Kindle 2 and they are providing a hands on review.
Some of the comments:
Controls are almost exactly the same as Kindle 1, just slightly re-arranged, for the better. You can still page forward from both sides. Although now, with more non-button room on the sides, you can definitely pick it up without turning the page. They nailed the buttons.
Hey, it’s downright iPod Touchy.
I’ll bet it kicks butt as a cake cutter.
Looks like a definite
upgrade from the original. I would have liked to have a bigger screen though. Everything else is spot on. I like the text to speech feature, but I’ve heard the voice is too robotic to listen to novel length books without being annoying. Time to retire my old Kindle.
