Yes, it looks like an improvement on the K1, and under more stable economic conditions I would have one at my mailbox by week's end.
So, while the K1 is enjoyable, and usable... I would not wish to imply it is "fine as it it". That would imply the K2 is not an improvement.

But, do also understand that I am just yanking your chain.

Thanks for the added grey hairs.

At DesertGrandma's request I have added a new option to the poll: "I have a K1 and would love a K2 but its financially frivolous/impossible"

Enjoy

In honor of Donnageddon, a mod has kindly added another option. (How do my polls keep growing so?? )

I returned the Kindle 1 in December, expecting the announcement/arrival of the Kindle 2 in Q1 2009, based on the rumors...

...so when the Kindle 2 comes, it'll be my second dedicated ebook reader, but none of the poll options quite fit for me...

:-)

My K2 should arrive today!!!

Since my husband is a real sweetie and he could see how envious I was that he was getting the Kindle 2, he told me that his Valentine's day present would be that I could have the Kindle 2 and he would take my Kindle 1.
Now, that's how it should be done (actually, that's how I got my new Loox, gave the old one to the husband so I had to buy a new one for myself!)

I find this poll not fair to the people who would love to belong to the Kindle users, but can't because they're born on the other side of the big pond! (actually, either ponds...)

You´re sooooo right, Sweetpea. You hear this, DG?! It´s not fair! And Grandmas have to be fair. Maybe we "across-the-ponders" should start an anti-kindle campaign

Hey, you're preaching to the choir here. I've TOLD Amazon to expand their coverage, but would they listen to an old lady? Noooooo!

Now, pull up your big girl panties and go back to work!
