My personal appraisal of the Kindle V2

Dear DG25:

You have to give Amazon credit... they did a professional job and it is very beautiful. I have only begun to look into it but have noted that they seem to have increased the embedded to 2GB but taken away the SD card slot. That, to me, allows plenty of memory, but does not allow people to exchange songs and non-DRM books easily and will hurt them with the education community.

From what I can tell, one report said it is only 20% faster than Kindle V1. That does NOT sound like it has the Epson controller. And... of course... buyers are still tied and dyed to the Amazon embillical cord for books. That would be a major to me. WHY would I want to allow the biggest book company in the world to be able to raise the price whenever they feel they want?? What happened to free market competition?

I have to be honest and say I have to see some real specs before I can really tell much. I do know reviews so far were lukewarm. Please remember that I am biased and this is my personal opinion and not that of my company. At least the V2 is thinner!!

I am waiting for Wallcraft to give his impression as he really would know.
