A Review of the Revolutionary amazon kindle2

One of the prototypes is Ask Kindle NowNow, which, much like kindle2 Yahoo Answers, allows you to ask questions and have “real people” research the question and send you up to three answers usually within ten minutes (there’s no charge). We asked, “Who is David Carnoy?” Reply: “Some jerky CNET reviewer who grades really hard and never rates products above an 8.3.” (We’re kidding, but we did get a response within about 3 minutes that offered Carnoy’s CNET.com user bio.)

In many ways, the Kindle is similar to the Sony Reader. At 10.3 ounces, the Kindle weighs about an ounce more and is slightly bigger, measuring 7.5 inches high by 5.3 inches wide by 0.7 inch deep. But both devices have 4.9-by-3.6-inch (6-inch diagonal), 600 x 800-pixel screens that use E Ink technology, which serves to make the letters and words on the screen look more printlike in their ebook reader appearance–it’s quite impressive if you haven’t seen the technology in action before.
