New Kindle

I’ve been a fan of Amazon’s Kindle since its first release.  The idea of having an entire library with me everywhere is simply intoxicating.  Now, of course it cannot compare with the tactile and visual pleasure of reading a traditional paper book, but it is the ideal way to read when travelling.

It appears that the second model of the Amazon Kindle is nearing release.  There is a press release scheduled on February 9th.   The newer version is claimed to feature faster rendering thanks to the new Broadsheet microchip and better ergonomic response.

There are those who claim to have new photos online.

I’m looking forward to February 9th!
