The 2nd generation Kindle from Amazon is now official and is available for pre-order for $359. Oprah surely did help boost sales of the e-book reader. Although the upgrades are not that record-breaking — 2GB storage for up to 1,500 books, 25% more battery life, better display — it sure doesn’t hurt that this model is thinner (9mm) and lighter (289 grams).
The best new feature I guess would be Read to Me which is a text-to-speech feature that reads the e-book (and blogs, magazine, newspaper) for you.
then again, this is one of those gadgets we’ll never get to see or use in the Philippines. Well, unless Amazon changes their business model and unlock the Kindle from Sprint’s 3G network.
