The Kindle 2 is an interesting change from the Kindle 1.

I do like the new version's new look. I like the new ergonomics. I like the 2gigs of internal ram. I think the TTS is a good feature for some. And the new screen controller giving it 16 shades and a faster display are good things. I know a lot of people have said they don't care about the 16 shades vs. the original 4 shades, but with the 16 shades comes a faster display.

What the Kindle 2 is missing is (IMHO) software based and could be added in at some time. I feel it's missing ePub support and folder support.
