Should we believe all the hype surrounding ebook reader technology? Who would have thought that they would become so popular? When it was introduced, people didn’t seem to notice. Far from the perfect device, the Kindle won’t be replacing the paper novel anytime soon. It does offer the best possible way to take your reading materials with you, wherever you would like to go. As this Amazon Kindle 2 review will point out, that kind of portability is something you just cannot get with regular, paper books and literature.

The Kindle may be the most popular e-book reader available, but it certainly isn’t the only one. Amazon’s new and improved K2 offers a larger screen, more storage and some cool features. However, it does take a bit of a price jump from the first generation device, in the amount of $299. The price of the K2 is around $359. This could be why many people are hesitant to purchase the K2 wireless reading device, even though the ebook technology is monumental.

According to an Amazon Kindle 2 review, although it is the most popular ebook reader, it still doesn’t offer its connection service outside the United States. Once it is more established, this is likely to change and expand. Don’t forget though, that it wasn’t so long ago that the iPod was just a fancy way to listen to music. Now it is one of the most widely utilized pieces of technology around.

To summarize this Amazon Kindle 2 review, the K2 offers great options, but at a rather steep price. However, the advantage of free internet access, being able to download media without a computer, included USB and wall chargers, access to Wikipedia, the availability of newspaper and magazine downloads, and the price of content being so much more affordable, the price doesn’t seem that exorbitant after all.
