This is new invention of e-book reader. Amazon Kindle 2 e-books is very roomy gadget and looks pretty good. The unit didn’t occupy much spot, because in size it’s not very big, so it’s comfortable to read on. This variant is bigger, then the first unit, which was little too awkwardly-shaped. As far as buttons go, on the right side, the bottoms from top to bottom are: Home, Next Page, Menu, a joystick, and Undo. On the left side, there’s Previous, Page, and Next Page. The buttons are significantly smaller to avoid accidental page turning. The joystick takes the place of the scroll. Near there are the sleep button and the headphone jack and on the right side edge you’ve got the volume up/down buttons. What’s interesting is that the backside of the unit is mostly metal with the speakers at the bottom pf the back.
Amazon Kindle 2 e-books have finally ditched their own charger. The
Amazon Kindle 2 e-books is able to be charged with a miniUSB cable.
This gadget didn’t have a pocket ruler. The size of the display is the
same as the first Kindle even it looks a little smaller. It can be one
problem with the battery, which doesn’t look to be user-accessible and
next one trouble for users, is absence of SD card slot.In the top left corner of the device, it gives you a display of how much memory is left, and our guy’s unit showed 1403 MB. It uses EV-DO for downloads, and it comes with a leather pouch as opposed to the binder-style piece of nonsense that would constantly let the unit fall out. |
