Today I received my first Kindle 2 International. I was very excited and it is a nice reader, but not for me.

After a few hours of using it, I must admit, that it is not my thing. I miss my touchscreen, i miss my backlight, I miss my menu, I miss my mp3 folder.

Of course the screen is a littel sharper and brighter than my 700er but I cannot imagine, beeing as happy with the Kindle 2 as with my 700er Sony. The whole time I used it today, I missed my Sony.

Strange, huh? I realy thought, when I ordered it, I would prefer it over the Sony, but I don't.

So now it goes right in the Fleemarket for 235€, that is the price I paid for it incl. shipping and customs charges.
