Some of The Best Things About the Kindle 2:

1. It remembers where you stopped reading. No more losing your place.
2. Long battery life: read up to one week with the wireless on. Up to 2 weeks with it off!
3. Start reading a downloaded book within 60 seconds.
4. No fees for downloading. Got a “smart phone?” Gotta have a data plan of at least $29.95 per month(in addition to your regular contract). No such fees for the Kindle.
5. Sleek & Light: At 10.2 ounces, Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback and as thin as most magazines. Barely a third of an inch in profile, you'll find Kindle fits perfectly in your hands.
6. Simple to use: The Kindle is wireless and ready to use right out of the box. No setup, no cables, no software to install, no computer required.
7. I just read my last heavy hardback book (Stephen King’s Under The Dome). Very riveting book but it weighed a ton.
