These covers look really good but I'd like to see better pictures with the K2 in them. Probably just a timing thing because the covers weren't available yet when they were shooting the marketing stuff.
On an aside I found the error that snuck through amusing with the video of the current Kindle customers commenting on the new K2. It claimed the one Software Engineer was a Kindle owner since July 2007. Very impressive since they weren't available until Nov 2007.

Perhaps in a couple of years an e-book reader will look like the top cover of a hard cover book,the whole page being refreshed in color, not thicker then 3mm, no border & touchscreen.
That'd be neat!
