2nd generation has improved battery and slightly different housing. It's available for at least 2 years now. I've myself actually never seen the 1st generation.
There's the "Book edition" as well. That's the 2nd generation minus WLAN capabilities. In my opinion, WLAN more or less is useless. There's no connection to a bookstore and there won't be any further firmware updates to download. So you just could upload eBooks from your PC, browse the web or read newsfeeds.
The "Book edition" is significantly cheaper and does its job...
